Namibia House
The Namibia House, newly established in 2021, is dedicated to the desert plants of Southwest Africa. In its extreme aridity, plants can only survive thanks to special adaptations [was: which have made special adaptations due to the extreme climatic conditions]. A special bijoux is the strange Welwitschia mirabilis: native to the driest areas of Namibia, with a long taproot and ever lengthening leaves. Its reproduction is more similar to that of conifers than flowering plants. This extremely rare plant can live for thousands of years.
Also growing here are the "living stones", plants with extremely fleshy, mostly underground leaves, and many other desert plants.
