Examples include the Chilean rhubarb (Gunnera tinctoria) and certain species of cacti like Copiapoa cinerea.

What is the aquifer under the Atacama Desert?

Fresh water is available in a few oases found in the desert and also from very sparse rainfall and, in some areas near the coast, dense fog. There are rivers and streams in the Atacama but they rarely have any water. In some parts of the desert there are salares, salt lakes, but the water has such a high salt content that it cannot be used for drinking or irrigation.
