Victoria is spectacular and also a bit intimidating at night too. 9 May Got away from Cd. Victoria and drove north on Mex. Hwy 85 to Linares where we had lunch at a motel on the north side of town. Took Mex. Hwy. 60 west to Galeana. Made a false start north out of Galeana to search out a Chiropterotrix type locality, but to realize along the road that we couldn't get there that way. Came back to Galeana Galeana and continued west on Mex. Hwy 80 to Mex. Hwy. 68 which we took south to the town of Pabllillo - the alleged type locality of Pseudotempea galeana . Not being up with the area (too dry) we continued south about miles and marked a west facing draw and hillside as follow. 3.3 miles south Pabllillo, Nuevo Leon on Mex. Hwy 68. West facing hillside, a gully flowing west (but no water) and the flat of a north flowing stream bed below. Most of the upper reaches of the hillside were cut over and there was quite secondary brushy growth but further north, down the slope toward the gully, there were both oak & pine. The flats along the stream bed are relatively open with scattered oak & pine. Also, strangely, saw cholla which was in bloom and
