The garrigue is a Mediterranean, anthropogenic vegetation zone that has developed as a result of the degradation (slash-and-burn or grazing) of the maquis. The appearance of the garrigue is characterised by small shrubs, which often have a thorny and prickly habitus. Typical representatives of the garrigue are the rosemary(Rosmarinus officinalis), the lavender (Lavendula spec.) or the dwarf palm(Chamaerops humilis).
