at Tiquera but similarly scrubby/pointed. Scheme a mile down
stream near the river.
13 unidentified bromiys - darwinii - wolfarini - grandis in
the tropes. Sleamed until 11, then drove north up the valley to
Camargo at 4 p.m. Much of the quebrada is same as at
Camp, but brush become smaller, sparser to the north,
fewer than trees, more kinds of cacti appear, and the
willow - leafed shrub. Very hot! Sun shade at noon 35°C,
and the road too rough to go fast enough to create a breeze.
at 5 p.m., cloudy, 34°; and at 6 p.m. 32° after thunder &
lightning in the hills nearby and a trace of rain here.
&to 8:30 p.m., 25° and clear. It's not altiplano, but Phyllothe
abundant!
Oct.11 Camargo. Temps at 6 a.m., cloudy, 19°. 4 Phyllothas in tropes.
This valley has quite a few avocados & grapes, the latter
trained either on cane from trellises or up into severely
crowned Schinza trees. As you climb up out of the north
end of the valley vegetation gets ruder. Cacti, thorn,
brush, willow, Schinas and lots of rocks at 10,000 ft.
should be good triffing. Then a stretch of Not umbilics
about 6000ft.?? above Lina. Then a stretch of quebrada-
locobris,- richer than rather bare stony altiplano.
Stopped at 12,300 ft. 40km by road short of Potosi'. Here there are
scattered bushes (many of them thorny), fuzzy cactus, and a
little bit of bunching grass. This is about ½ mi. by road south of
the Tiquiza-Camargo-Potosi fork, call 20 mi. S. Potosi'.
Put out ½ bag of trifes along brushy stone walls, mostly after
dark.
