The Baja peninsula supports three vegetative regions as shown on the map below. It consists of densely growing shrubs, commonly referred to as chaparral.
Conditions are especially dry here, and the vegetation is more sparce and less attractive.
The Magnificent Peninsula guidebook contains a full chapter on vegetation with black and white photos of some of the larger most attractive plants. The Baja California Plant Field Guide is an outstanding publication containing descriptions of 550 plant species with 275 brilliant color photos.
