Flora of Chile
Native
plants of the bogs
One simple
bog in the altiplano of Lauca Park, 4,400 masl, in December.
Seeming
unremarkable......easy to
drive by without noticing a thing......but take a few steps,
and there it is at your feet: a world of tiny gems, exquisite
treasures. Genera include Astragalus, Werneria,
Hypochaeris, Eudema, Gentiana, Hypsela, Arenaria, Senecio, Ranunculus,
Jaborosa, Xenophyllum, Calandrinia, (not all pictured here).
