| Oxalis pes-caprae is an invasive species that is very prevalent all over the island. It is a beautiful bright green with yellow flowers. |
 |
| Arisarum vulgare was also carpeting the space that wasn't already occupied by trees, shrubs or Oxalis pes-caprae. |
 |
| Lentisco (Pistacia lentiscus) is a very common shrub that I have seen all over the island with very bright berries. It is a member of the Anacardiaceae family. |
 |
| Pinus halepensis is the dominant conifer species here on the island. |
 |
| Some wild lavender (Lavendula dentata). |

 |
| Checking out some invasive Opuntia that can be seen all over the island. |
 |
| Anagyris foetida is a beautiful shrub that I have seen a few times during my explorations on Mallorca. This plant is supposedly toxic so do not eat it! |

 |
| That cute little ascocarp to the left of the terricolous lichen I believe is Peziza subviolacea. The amazing folks at the University of the Balearic Islands also have a virtual herbarium of fungi! Unfortunately, for those of you that do not speak Castellano or Catalan, there is no English version. Luckily scientific names are universal! |
 |
| Possibly an Amanita species? I have seen this guy all over the island in mountains and in fields. |
 |
| This wood rotter I encountered on a P. halepensis reminded me a lot of Porodedaelea pini. |
 |
| The flowers of the madroño (Arbutus unedo). |
