Fouquieria columnaris

''Fouquieria columnaris'', the Boojum tree or ''cirio'' () is a tree in the family ocotillo family, whose other members include the ocotillos. It is nearly endemic to the Baja California Peninsula (both the northern and southern states), with only a small population in the Sierra Bacha of Sonora, Mexico. The plant's English name, Boojum, was given by Godfrey Sykes of the Desert Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona and is taken from Lewis Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark".〔Robert R. Humphrey. The Boojum and its Home〕〔〔Carroll, Lewis, 1876. The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits complete text of poem〕
==Distribution==
The peculiar distribution pattern of the mainland boojums has led Mexican botanists to conclude that they were probably transplanted to the mainland by the indigenous Seri people, who lived in this area and still live on communal property south of this location. The Seri name for this plant is ''cototaj'' . In Seri belief, touching this plant will cause strong winds to blow (an undesirable state). Given this belief, the hypothesis that the Seri people transplanted it is doubtful.
