and ponds and sedge grass and Phrygium, all remnant of Tres Cuenas and above Amailamba. Stopped at 5 p.m. 5 mi. W Conarapa, 7500 ft. Vegetation here is brushy with patches of cloud forest, and the Conarapa valley looks similar plus more cultivation. Can see a few small flats down below with tree cover, but no good Phyllotea country. Set about 1 bog of traps along a ridge with rock outcrops plus succulents, grass, and many succulents, plus a few orchids (not flowering) and ferme - about a dozen of these traps in cloud forest (not met). The past several miles have been extremely windy. I expected the wind to die down at dusk, but it's still blasting blowing, rocking the trees, pushing you off balance when you are out in it. It will probably blow bout off some traps, if not blow away whole traps. Habitat looks poor for Phyllotea too much ground cover and few bunches - might clear windy. Left 13 we. Traps did better than expected. The short bog along the brushy succulent ridge with sparse rock outcrops caught 5 Ph wolffschin, 1 Abudon?, and 1 Abrucana. Five traps in a pocket of cloud forest caught 2 Ph. wolffi, and one big Abudon? and the other 2 traps spring empty. This is an especially good patch of cloud forest in a V in the road, cliff on one side, jungle along the road with 10-foot tobacco, not damp or wet at this season, but definitely forest with 50-foot tressa 2-ft DBH. Three Phyllotea definitely in woods. A lot of clearing of forest is going on and has gone on in the past. Conarapa is not in forest, but it is surrounded by large pockets and may once have been forested.
