7 most common species：
Jamaicanweed
Jamaicanweed is a tropical species often considered a weed. it grows in low, wide-spreading rosettes with hairy stems, and when small can be confused with Valerianella olitoria. However, they can be differentiated by the number of stamens the flowers have (five for jamaicanweed).
Purple mat
Nama demissum grows to three inches high in a small patch of hairy glandular herbage. The flowers range from pinkish to purple. It blooms from winter to spring.
Bristly nama
Nama hispidum is an annual flowering plant. Common names include sand bells, rough nama, and bristly nama. Sand bells grow in the American desert southwest.
Lobb's fiddleleaf
Lobb's fiddleleaf is a perennial herb that typically thrives in arid conditions, displaying an inherent resilience. It features succulent leaves which store water, allowing it to inhabit dry, rocky substrates. The plant is distinguished by its vibrant blue to purple funnel-shaped flowers, which bloom prominently and attract a variety of pollinators, contributing to its reproductive success in challenging environments.
Stevens' fiddleleaf
Stevens' fiddleleaf is a resilient herbaceous species thriving in arid environments. It exhibits low-growing foliage with small, ovate leaves, adapted for conserving water in its harsh native habitat. Delicate, bell-shaped flowers, often a hue of subtle blue or violet, grace the plant seasonally and add a splash of color against the muted tones of its surroundings. Its sturdy root system anchors firmly, maximizing moisture intake from infrequent rains.
Rothrock's fiddleleaf
Rothrock's fiddleleaf is a resilient desert-dwelling plant known for its delicate blue flowers and silvery-green foliage. It thrives in the harsh conditions of sandy or rocky soils, where its deep roots seek out moisture. The plant is characterized by a low, spreading habit, with fuzzy leaves offering a distinct texture. This adaptation, alongside its drought-tolerant nature, typifies rothrock's fiddleleaf's remarkable ability to persist in arid climates.
Havard's fiddleleaf
Havard's fiddleleaf is a desert-dwelling annual herb known for its small stature and resilience in arid conditions. Its funnel-shaped, lavender to pink flowers bloom in spring, providing a splash of color against the sandy landscape. The thick, succulent leaves of havard's fiddleleaf help conserve water, reflecting an adaptation to its harsh, sun-baked environment. This plant thrives in gravelly soils, often in the shelter of other desert shrubs.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
