Fouquieria columnaris, the Boojum tree or cirio (Latin American Spanish:) is a tree in the ocotillo family, whose other members include the ocotillos. Some taxonomists place it in the separate genus Idria .
Boojum (superfluidity), a phenomenon in physics associated with superfluid helium-3; Boojum tree or cirio of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico; SSM-A-5 Boojum, a planned, but never completed, supersonic version of the SM-62 Snark, an intercontinental cruise missile; Boojum (restaurant), a chain of Mexican restaurants in Ireland
Boojum is a British-owned chain of Mexican fast-food [4] restaurants, founded in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2007 by John and Karen Blisard, they operate 17 outlets throughout the island of Ireland, [5] as well as a "Turbo Boojum" outlet in Dublin. [6] On 10 April 2024, Boojum opened their first store outside of the island of Ireland, in ...
In the physics of superfluidity, a boojum is a geometric pattern on the surface of one of the phases of superfluid helium-3, whose motion can result in the decay of a supercurrent. A boojum can result from a monopole singularity in the bulk of the liquid being drawn to, and then "pinned" on a surface.
Superfluidity is the characteristic property of a fluid with zero viscosity which therefore flows without any loss of kinetic energy.When stirred, a superfluid forms vortices that continue to rotate indefinitely.
Fouquieria is a genus of 11 species of desert flowering plants, the sole genus in the family Fouquieriaceae.The genus is native to North America and includes the ocotillo (F. splendens) and the Boojum tree or cirio (F. columnaris).
The XSSM-A-5 Boojum, also known by the project number MX-775B, was a supersonic cruise missile developed by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Air Force in the late 1940s. Intended to deliver a nuclear warhead over intercontinental range, the project was determined to be too ambitious given technical difficulties with the SM-62 ...
Boojum tree in hot June summers Cirio columnaris with human for scale. The Boojum forest is an area in central Baja California, Mexico, near Cataviña known for endemic flora so bizarre and grotesque in appearance that the area was named after mathematician/logician Lewis Carroll's imaginary landscape poem The Hunting of the Snark.
