14 Sept. 2 '74 Spent an hour in each of Two localities in the mix above San Juan Ixcoy (towards Bluejune) checking bromeliads, logs, leaf mold, stamps et al with no success, one place was high hardwood stuff, montane rain forest, the other lower and denser perhaps numbered. Stopped next several kilometers further on, at a higher altitude in a largely dead pine forest where a brook crossed the road. There are deciduous shrubs and grass and moss cover the ground. A rocky area, in fact a major landmark is an enormous stone spire with several trees growing on the top, sticking out of straight up from the hillside some 500 yds to the south of the locality and a bit higher on the hill. It is the first such spire seen coming out of San Juan Ixcoy, it stands several more than 100m high and probably is 70m thick.
