'''''Fouquieria''''' is a [[genus]] of 11 [[species]] of [[desert]] [[plant]]s, the sole genus in the [[Family (biology) |family]] '''Fouquieriaceae'''. The genus includes the [[Ocotillo]] (''F. splendens'') and the [[Boojum tree]] or Cirio (''F. columnaris''). They have [[succulent]] stems with thinner spikes projecting from them, with [[leaf|leaves]] on the spikes. They are unrelated to [[cactus|cacti]] and do not look much like them; their stems are proportionately thinner than cactus stems and their leaves are larger.

These plants are native to northern [[Mexico]] and the bordering [[United States|US]] states of [[Arizona]], southern [[California]], [[New Mexico]], and parts of southwestern [[Texas]], favoring low, arid hillsides.

The [[Seri]] people identify three species of ''Fouquieria'' in their area of Mexico: ''jomjéeziz'' or ''xomjéeziz'' (''F. splendens''), ''jomjéeziz caacöl'' (''F. diguetii'', Baja California tree ocotillo), and ''cototaj'' (''F. columnaris'', boojum).

The genus is named after French physician [[Pierre Fouquier]] (1776-1850).

== Species of ''Fouquieria'' ==
*''[[Fouquieria burragei]]'' Rose
*''[[Fouquieria columnaris]]'' (Kellog) Kellog ex Curran
*''[[Fouquieria diguetii]]'' (Tiegh.) I.M.Johnst.
*''[[Fouquieria fasciculata]]'' Nash
*''[[Fouquieria formosa]]'' Kunth
*''[[Fouquieria leonilae]]'' Miranda
*''[[Fouquieria macdougalii]]'' Nash
*''[[Fouquieria ochoterenae]]'' Miranda
*''[[Fouquieria purpusii]]'' Brandegee
*''[[Fouquieria shrevei]]'' I.M.Johnst.
*''[[Fouquieria splendens]]'' Engelm.

They do not have a particularly close resemblance to any other sort of plants; genetic evidence has shown that they belong in the [[Ericales]]. Prior to this, they had been variously placed in the [[Violales]] or their own order Fouquieriales.

===Ecology===
''Fouquieria diguetii'' is host to the [[Peacock mite]] ''Tuckerella eloisae''.
