Marshall, 1942 30. General Acc't Mt. Cacaguetijes, Dept. Morazan, El Salvador Summary Slope are different species - characteristics of arid Lower tropical - but he may be referring to other trees in the canyon, not the oaks. Apparently the whole north slope was once an oak forest. Nothing seen of what Van Rossem referred to as Humid Upper tropical except humid type of brush on the north summit of the highest ridge & in the 2 deepest canyons. Not much Pine forest left: a few large trees on east side of ridge of Hacienda; mixed with oaks on next ridge to east, pure stand with grass below on a knoll & ridge farther east - all in dry ridge conditions & only on east side of tops of ridges. Two kinds of brush: 1) The dry type consisting of composites & many other flowers, bamboos, etc. not chaparral brushes - mostly just Thickets of vertical stalks - not branched as much as chaparral. This occurs & on south slope as a continuous blanket from near end of oaks 300' below summit down 2000' to farms & cornfields - on very steep ground. Is about 6-10' high, denser in ravines and
