Australian deserts are home to a variety of hardy plants adapted to arid conditions. Notable species include the spinifex grass, which forms dense clumps and stabilizes sand dunes, and the iconic mulga tree, known for its resilience and ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils. Other desert plants include the saltbush, which tolerates saline conditions, and various species of acacia that provide essential habitat and food for wildlife. These plants have developed unique adaptations to survive long periods of drought and extreme temperatures.
