Juniperus, Myrtus, Olea, Phillyrea, Pistacia, and Quercus. This vegetation is similar in appearance to the chaparral vegetation of California and the matorral of Chile. Some important components of Mediterranean vegetation (species of the genera Arbutus, Calluna, Ceratonia, Chamaerops, and Larus) are relicts from the ancient forests that dominated the Basin two million years ago. Frequent burning of maquis results in depauperate vegetation dominated by Kermes oak ( Quercus coccifera), Cistus spp. or Sarcopoterium spinosum, all of which regenerate rapidly after fire by sprouting or mass germination. Shrublands, including maquis and the aromatic, soft-leaved and drought phrygana of Rosmarinus, Salvia, and Thymus, persist in the semi-arid, lowland, and coastal regions of the Basin.
- montaanne vahemereline (ligikaudu 1 800-2 200 m) - supra-metsavöönd (ligikaudu 2 200-2 917 m) Vahemereline igihaljas mets. Madalamatel kõrgustel on valdavad igihaljaste laialehiste puude liigid, nagu jaanileivapuu Ceratonia siliqua, mastiksipistaatsia Pistacia lentiscus, euroopa õlipuu Olea 1 europaea, maasikapuu Arbutus sp., värvitamm Quercus coccifera, iilekstamm Quercus ilex, eerikad Erica sp., jne. Süüria männi Pinus halepensis ja kreeta männi Pinus brutia metsad esinevad rannikumadalikel ja kohati kuni 800 m kõrguseni. Metsad on suhteliselt avatud ja nende alustaimestik koosneb igihaljastest liikidest nagu foiniikia kadakas Juniperus phoenicea, värvitamm Quercus coccifera, laialehine fillüüria Phillyrea latifolia, Calicotome villosa, puis-eerika Erica arborea, kanarbik E. manipuliflora
