Mediterranean climate plants from Chile?

Hi all,

I'm working on a redesign of a small public mediterranean garden here in
California, and we're planning on using the four sections of the garden to
highlight interesting plants from each of the other mediterranean climates
(other than California). I've got tons of ideas for plants in the South
Africa, Australia, and Mediterranean zones, but I haven't found much
information about plants from the mediterranean climate region of Chile.
Does anyone have any suggestions of plants to use and/or sources for plant
lists? I'm looking mostly for shrubs (10' tall and under), perennials, and
bulbs.

Plants from the mediterranean climate region of Chile seems like an
interesting discussion topic in general. Chile feels like the forgotten
stepchild of the medit climates to me...the mattoral isn't as well known as
the chapparel, maquis, or fynbos. What do you think?
