Guess they are the ~~Trilobites~~ Horseshoe Crabs of plants: Done with evolution.
Edit: mixed that up.
But trilobites have been extinct for over 250 million years.
I guess that analogy was the coelacanth of lemmy comments. Extinct.
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.
