荒涼とした赤い岩砂漠を背景に、くねった太い幹のその先に同じくらいの太さのブラシを生やすかわいいモンスター。アメリカ南西部のカリフォルニア、アリゾナ、ユタ、ネバダ、北メキシコに分布していて、カリフォルニア州にその名を関した「ジョシュア・ツリー国立公園」があり保護されています。南部住まいの米国人にはわりとなじみのある木っぽいですが、日本ではなかなかその姿で見る機会はありません。関係ないけど「ヨシュアツリーといえばU2だよね」という人とは個人的に仲良くなれそうです。

@BigSnugALot I'm curious about the science behind this. I looked up divergence dates for Yucca (which includes the Joshua tree, Y. brevifolia) and found this paper: https://t.co/Sykd4PDRYw It places the origin of Asparagaceae (yuccas, agaves, asparagus, hyacinths, etc.) in the Cenozoic.

yucca brevifolia @EJ_Llarena https://t.co/Ig6WxXCxbs
@Danj5254 Wikipedia says "Yucca brevifolia is a plant species belonging to the genus Yucca. It is tree-like in habit, which is reflected in its common names: Joshua tree, yucca palm, tree yucca, and palm tree yucca"
