This scene contains several species that are typical of the Mojave Desert: the branched cactus in the foreground is a silver cholla, and the spreading yellowish-green shrub to the right of the cactus is a creosote bush. Further in the distance are several spiky-topped Joshua Trees, which are endemic to the Mojave.
