Description: Low Chaco forests typical of poorly drained clay soils in topographic depressions of the alluvial plains of the Southern Chaco in Argentina. They present an impoverished Chaco flora compared to the floodplain forests of the Northern Chaco, but with a differential presence of southern species whose optimum is in the Monte and northern Patagonia biogeographic provinces. These forests may temporarily flood during the rainy season. Diagnostic species are <i>Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco, Bulnesia bonariensis, Bulnesia retama, Geoffroea decorticans, Grabowskia obtusa, Grahamia bracteata, Larrea cuneifolia, Lycium tenuispinosum, Maytenus vitis-idaea, Mimozyganthus carinatus, Plectrocarpa tetracantha, Prosopis reptans, Prosopis sericantha</i>, and <i>Suaeda divaricata</i>.
