Boswellia rivae vs. neglecta caudex development

Boswellia rivae and B. neglecta at ~3 weeks old are showing their different adaptive strategies: rivae are quickly developing a caudex at and just below ground level and are strongly anchored on their root structure, while neglecta are devoting resources toward above-ground caudex formation.
