Tetraena qatarense (Zygophyllum qatarense, local name harm) in sand near Harrarah in southern Qatar
The image depicts a sandy desert landscape with two small green plants growing out of the sand on either side of an object resembling a piece of coral or limestone. The photograph was taken near Harrarah in southern Qatar on February 14, 2014.
In the center of the image is what appears to be a large piece of dead coral or limestone that has been bleached white by the sun and exposed by wind erosion. It lies in a depression in the sand and casts a shadow to its left. To its right are two small green plants with oval-shaped leaves, likely Tetraena qatarense (Zygophyllum qatarense), growing out of the sandy soil. The plant's stems appear to be covered in fine hairs.
The background of the image is a vast expanse of beige-colored sand that stretches out into the distance. There are no other objects or features visible beyond the piece of coral/limestone and the two plants growing out of it, giving the impression of an isolated oasis in the middle of the desert. – AI vision
