    Can you name this plant?

    The subject of evolution and the question of why one would believe that various living things are so closely related that they sprang from a common ancestor comes up fairly often. Very strong opinions are expressed.

    I thought a visual challenge might be fun

    It's called the two pronged vaginal plant. The name is based on the shape of the growth near the top.

    You think because I joke, I am an uneducated tard.

    It's the Ocotillo plant.

    These aren't Fouquieria splendens (Ocotillo) or anything else in that genus, but that's a very intuitive guess.
