What plant lives on a mesa?

A common plant that lives on a mesa is the mesa verbena (Verbena macdougallii), which is well-adapted to the arid conditions typical of these elevated flatlands. Other plants, such as various species of cacti and shrubs like sagebrush, also thrive in mesa environments due to their ability to withstand drought and poor soil conditions. These plants often have deep root systems to access groundwater and are crucial for supporting local wildlife.
