Welwitschia mirabilis is ecologically highly specialized, and is adapted to grow under arid conditions receiving regular fog. This regular, dense fog is formed when the cold north-flowing Benguela Current meets the hot air coming off the Namib Desert. The source I listed contains much more detailed information as well as photographs of this plant.
