There are many kinds of plants located in the Atacama Desert, and though most are low-lying brush, there are a few trees that live here, including the Chilean Mesquite, the Tamarugo, Humboldt's Willow, the Porknut, and the Spiny Holdback. There are also quite a few varieties of bromeliads.
There are many types of shrubs located in the southernmost area of the Desert, forming a community there. An example of the shrubbery is the Oxalis gigantea, or more commonly known as a shamrock.
