The plant that is NOT typically found in the Basin and Range Province is the pine tree.

While some higher elevations within the Basin and Range may support coniferous forests, especially in the mountain ranges, the predominant vegetation in the lower, arid regions consists of desert scrub and drought-resistant plants. Joshua trees and saguaro cacti are characteristic of the desert landscape, thriving in the warm, dry conditions. Creosote bush is also common, adapted to the limited moisture and harsh climate. Pine trees generally prefer cooler, wetter conditions found in higher altitudes or different ecological regions, making them less common in the lower elevations of the Basin and Range Province.
