Tequila and Drifting Continents

"Aloe and Agave are two genera of drought-tolerant succulents that have similar appearances and care needs. The similarities arise because both adapted to live in hot, dry climates. Aloe and Agave, however, are not closely related and the similar climates in which they evolved are in different hemispheres of the world." As per a google search.

I first saw agave when i went to Crescent Bay, California. I think i posted this from South LA in the same day i took the pictures. It had some meaning to me. I wanted to see the real inspiration for a painting (serigraphy, reproduction) i saw once in the hallway next to my door at a hospital, Pacific Gateway, now long demolished.

What this has to do with anything. Today i was looking for a list of Arabic words possibly coming from Sanskrit and i found a list but it was of course in Arabic, written in Arabic and i was so curious i clicked on the first word which was the Arab word whatever for Aloe. With the universally recognizable prefix Al of course (Similar to English definite article The which also has a corespondent in Sanskrit). It was then when it stroke me the first time the similarities between the two. Agave is known mostly for being source for the popular drink Tequila which has it's own bay at any State Owned Liquor store in Oregon. But then i went into search machine mode (google oftenly thinks i'm a robot and asks me to check boxes or do puzzles to prove i'm  not) and this is what i found for you. They both belong to the botanical order Asparagales of which at least in Romania the humble artichoke bear its name. Then i searched and found their ancestor families branched out according to various sources from about 90 to 130 million years ago. Asphodelaceae is said to be native to Africa and Agavoideae native to America. However Agavoideae genus is much younger on the evolutionary time line.

How is this not conflicting with drifting continents theory that supposedly occurred 200 million years ago?
