Boojum forest
The Boojum forest is an area in central Baja California near Catiavinia known for endemic flora so bizarre and grotesque in appearance that the area was named after mathematician/logician Lewis Carroll's imaginary landscape story, ''The Hunting of the Snark''.
The area is characterized by almost no rainfall, as opposed to the two coasts of the Baja Peninsula, exotic plants such as ''Fouquieria columnaris'', can grow up to 50 feet tall with an 18 inch diameter. Large rounded granitic boulders placed similar to those of ancient druid religious sites appear and so do the columnar cacti such as ''Ferocactus gracilis'', huge fleshy red blooded (the sap is highly ferrous red) elephant trees, ''Bursera microphylla'', huge endemic ocotillo (''Fouquieria peninsularis'') with flaming red flowered tipped ends, and the world's largest cactus, the columnar Cardon, ''Pachycereus pringlei''.
==>Location==
The forest is about 220 miles south of Tijuana along highway one in Baja California, Mexico.
