In the plain areas, relictos of the forest chaqueño is conserved in the plains of the north and western, characterized by the presence of locusts, espinillos, chañares, prunings and quebrachos. In the mountain region, the vegetation is organized on the base of the topography, altitude, humidity, temperatures and exhibition to the winds.
In the foot of the mountains they mix species of the plain with those of the mountain forest. Between 500 and 1.300 meters s.m. the mountain forest settles down with the presence of the molle, the coconut, the horco molle, the horco quebracho, the manzano of the field and the piquillín. Starting from the 1.350 and 1.700 msn it is constituted a vegetation arbustiva like the romerillo and the carqueja. Above the 1.700 msn the vegetation disappears, but in the gulches where senna finds the tabaquillo. In the faldeos, plateaus and summits reign the pastizales of height, with presence of gramineous as the stipa and the festuca. |

| Oriental plain |
| |
| In the Cordovan oriental plain is a vegetation formed by soft grasses that constitute a carpet, vegetable; they are the typical grasses of the prairies that are usually taken advantage of by the livestock of the region. The most important species are the male garlic, the fox line, the flechilla, the jonquil, the ortiguilla, the straw of the vizcacheras, the red grass and the frizzy grass, the flying straw, the white feather. The low bushes that more they are observed in the humid pampas they are mine-mine and the carquejilla. |

| Rivers and lagoons |
| |
| Next to the rivers and those taken a bath (humid lands that are often flooded) they always grow since there rushes and cortaderas there is a bigger humidity; among the floating species mainly the lentil of water appears. Big populations of arrows and totorales also exist in the lagoons that are among the rivers Third and Room. There are also salted grass, tiger beard, cachiyuyo and jume that grow mainly in the narrow canyons (channels that run mounts between two). The trees that occupy the highest parts are wooden hard, as the white locust, the atamisqui, the chañar, the guaiac, the mistol and the white quebracho. |

| In the dry pampas |
| |
| There they are also the white locust, the caldén, the cardón, the chañar the espinillo, the mistol, the quimilo and the retamo. Formerly the itín, the white molle and the red quebracho were plentiful, but due to the indiscriminate pruning they disappeared almost completely. |

| In the salines |
| |
| In the vicinity of the salines bushes only grow able to live in nitrous floors. There is, for example, pitch, cachiyuyo, frizzy, jarilla, jume blue stick, penca, quimilo and broom. |

In this region vegetable floors are staggered, directly related with the height of the mountains, they are trees and bushes there in the most humid low parts that you/they go being replaced when ascending. In the areas located below the 1.700 meters the vegetation it is formed by the white locust, the mountain coconut, the mistol, the white quebracho, the molle and the pruning. To the shade of these trees, the bushes like the espinillo are plentiful, the chañar the jarilla and the romerillo, and under the bushes the traditional grasses or Cordovan yuyos grow: albahaquilla, mentions, peperina, sage and thyme. a little above, near the 2.200 meters tabaquillo forests exist, covered with líquenes and moss. there are also ferns, carquejas and blackberry undergrowths. The only trees that grow to this height are the molles that help to fix the land. In the highest areas, approximately 2.800 meters, they are hardly trees. There are small bushes, and gramineous and pastizales that cover the floor. |
