A perennial small shrub up to 0.4 m in height that is found on sand and gravel plains (MEW 2010) and on low mountain slopes (Jongbloed et al. 2003).

This rain-dependent annual species is found in silt in mountain wadis, fields and plateaux (Jongbloed et al. 2003) and mountain summits (MEW 2010).

This species is found in sand plains and areas with compacted sand (Jongbloed et al. 2003); it is an important contributor to biomass in dune and stabilised sand environments (Ghazanfar and Fisher 1998). It is an annual and grows up to 20 cm in height, with oblong leaves and small white flowers which are present between February and May (Jongbloed et al. 2003). Neurado procumbens produces fruit in the form of a flat disk (Jongbloed et al. 2003) and its growth form is a herb (Mahmoud et al. 2018). It appears that this species is dependent on winter rainfall, which may determine whether seeds germinate or not (Perry 2008).

This annual herb species grows in stable sand between low sand dunes, in addition to within wadi beds and on wadi banks (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Norton et al. 2009, MEW 2010, Mahmoud et al. 2018). Within this habitat, it is considered an important contributor to biomass (Ghazanfar and Fisher 1998). It has stems flat to the ground, which can reach up to 30 cm length, and leaves within flattened hairs (Jongbloed et al. 2003). Between February and April, mauve flowers are produced (Jongbloed et al. 2003). This species is a crop wild relative of Astragalus species, including the cicer milkvetch (Kameswara Rao 2013).

This is an annual herb that is found on coastal sands and inland sandy or sand or gravel plains (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Brown et al. 2007, MEW 2010).

This annual herb species grows within sand and gravel substrates on hillsides (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Fawzi and Ksiksi 2012, Mahmoud et al. 2018). It can reach up to 40 cm in height, has whorls of leaves, petal-less flowers which are seen between February and May, in addition to a spherical, hard fruit containing one seed (Jongbloed et al. 2003). The bristles present on this plant are thought to deter browsing animals (Norton et al. 2009).

The species is found on sand and tolerates saline conditions (Jongbloed et al. 2003). It is mainly found on the salty coastal lowlands (Karim and Dakheel 2006). The species is also found on gravel plains and sand dunes (e.g. in the DDCR; El Alqamy 2004), and on loose sand. It is a small (height to 0.25(0.4) m) branched shrub (Karim and Dakheel 2006).

The species is found on gravel plains, hillsides, and wadi banks, as well as on sandy plains (Jongbloed et al. 2003). It is a perennial shrub up to 0.8 m in height that flowers between February to June (Jongbloed et al. 2003).

This annual herb species grows within compact sand, on hillsides, in gravel terraces and in plantations (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Mousa and Fawzi 2009, Feulner 2016, Mahmoud et al. 2018). This is a low plant with virtually no stem and the leaves crowded in a rosette form. The leaves are oval in shape in addition to the fruit, while the flowers are small, cream-coloured and present between February and April (Jongbloed et al. 2003).

This annual herb species is known to grow within saline and coastal sand dunes in the UAE (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Karim and Dakheel 2006, Brown et al. 2007, Mahmoud et al. 2018), although it has also been described as a weed in old fields in Oman (Western 1991). It can reach up to 0.2 m in height, has linear to lanceolate shaped leaves with fine silky hairs, in addition to long cylindrical spikes with very small white-green flowers which can be seen between January and April (Jongbloed et al. 2003, Karim and Dakheel 2006). It is a moderately salt-tolerant species (Karim and Dakheel 2006) and has been described as one of the most important contributors to biomass in dune and stabilised sand environments (Ghazanfar and Fisher 1998).
