Malariaga, Provincia de Bs Aires, Argentina 2 June camping in our old campsite in the woods surrounding the farmhouse buildings. This monte is ~300 x 300 m and mostly eucalypts, although around the SE, E borders there is a considerable stand of poplar ('alamos'). In parts of the monte there are oaks, quince, figs, and several small stands of a few species of conifer. Also, for example at our campsite, there is Salix. Most of the deciduous trees are well along the leaf-losing process. Outside the monte are a number of different vegetation types; which one is encountered depends upon the direction of travel. See Journal 1 June for a description of the pampa grass to the east as well as a list comparable to those in this [illegible] camp [illegible] Another direction one finds different communities of grass ranging from a [illegible] growth to the S + SW to short grass mixed with stands of Selanium (Duragnillo) - areas which in winter times are filled with water (+ in fact saline) and Grind #1. A large Spartina stand begins ~150 m to the W. Temperature at dawn (1400) was 7°C. Intermittent rain and a strong S wind. We walked to the W + then around the N side; most of the walk was within the monte or at its border.
