    Guess they are the Trilobites Horseshoe Crabs of plants: Done with evolution.

    Edit: mixed that up.

          It wasn’t wrong that they’re done with evolution, but it doesn’t work as an analogy because ginkgos and magnolias still exist. Perhaps they were thinking of the horseshoe crab, which has changed relatively little in 445 million years.
