- Acaena splendens — A species of suffruticose perennial plant in the Acaena genus, native to the high mountainous zones of Chile and Argentina. This plant stands out for its exceptional aesthetics, being entirely covered by a dense indumentum of long, silky, appressed hairs, which give it an intensely glittering (shining) silvery appearance. This structural ecotype acts as an efficient thermal shield against severe nocturnal frosts and extreme ultraviolet radiation at high altitudes.
- Arenaria montana — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the Caryophyllaceae family, native to the mountainous regions of southwestern Europe, commonly known as mountain sandwort. The plant is structurally characterized by trailing stems forming dense mats, small, lanceolate, deep green leaves, and abundant flowers with five immaculate snow-white petals, widely used in horticulture for decorating rockeries and alpine gardens due to its high resilience.
