Looking for some Patagonians

Sorry Stephen!

I did see at least 3 of those but they were not in seed and it was impossible to collect plants

2X Azorella (one with shoots  infected by fungus) and Sanicula graveolens.

Trond, are those some kind of conifer in the background of that first pic of Azorella?  It's a really interesting photo.

And would that have been the north side of the mountain?

Wonderful sights, Trond!

Barstow, Vojtech Holubec has sold seeds for many Patagonian species in the past, so it's well worth keeping an eye on his lists.  In the current list, he's selling Azorella monantha:   http://holubec.wbs.cz/wseed13_14_2_.doc

Thanks all! I will look at the Holubec list...

Rick, it is a mixed forest of Nothofagus (pumilio?) and Austrocedrus chilensis I think. In this area small patches of such woods were common in the hillsides, both facing north and south.

Some trees may even be Araucaria araucana.
