Because of being affected by climate factors such as the burning sun, dry, monsoon etc., the landscape of Chimei plants is that the regolith is shallow, and the soil contents low organic matters. Since the island has smooth rises and falls and does not have any natural protective structure plus the impact of other external influences, plants looks quite the same and does not have a lot of variety. Generally, most of the plants growing in Chimei islet have the shape features of crawling to grow, growing from every joints, fat stems and leaves, or hiding roots and hiding stems, character of deep roots etc.
According to the distribution of plants, the plant communities in Chemei can be roughly divided into 3 main kinds:Seashore plant community (pomoea pescaprae subsp., Jackbean, Limonium sinense, Vitex rotundifolia L.F etc.) , herbaceous plant community(Bidens chilensis., Cardiospermum halicabum L., Cyperus rotundus L., Leucaena leucocephala, Hibiscus tiliaceus L., Lentinan, White Cogongrass, Solanum incanum, Cirsium japonicum, Bidens pilosa., Natal grass, Herba Eleusines Indicae, Celosia argentea Linn, Ixeris chinensis (Thunb) Nakai, Compositac., crowfoot grass, Rumex crispus, Xanthium strumarium L. var. japonica (widder) Hera, Gaillardia pulchella, Lantana camara, Thorn-Apple, Casuarina equisetifolia Forst., Chimei grass, etc), and agricultural economical crops(peanut, sorghum, sweet potato, sweet corn)
Right after Summer comes to Chimei island, the measure of green plants is quite wide. Besides general herbaceous plants will be thriving, especially Leucaena leucocephala the most and Lanata camara the second, the earth is with abundant green. However, when it comes to winter, the earth becomes desolate when the Northeast monsoon blows by; the leaves of Leucaena leucocephala all fall down and bald trunks left. On the other side, some Lanata camaras which can bear the wind bloom with colorful and vivid flowers, forming another special view in winter.
