Argentina & Chile Day 12
After a long pause and now that the evenings are drawing in I have added some more images of day 12 in the travelogue section. Wild Rebutias and a splendid Opuntia......

The pink Tillandsia is T. argentina

Re: Argentina & Chile Day 12
Thanks for the ID's Cyrill.
I have an 'Opuntia microdisca' which claims the Quebrada del Toro as its place of origin. I guess its Tunilla erectoclada really and would be interested to know if you have seen that species growing there and if you have any images of it.

Dear Mike,
in my opinion you can find more than one " forma" in the Toro.
You have the round segmentet one thats described as Airampoa longispina or microshphaerica there. In the upper Parts you have Plants that looks like the chileans Tunillas and in the Quebrada de Tastil and upwards to the Tres Lagunas you have first a yellow spined,flat segmentet Tunillas in Milions of Individuals and then in higher altitude brown spined ones as far as you can see until the horizon ;-)
Flowers you can see there also all shades from yellow to red/pink side by side.
Tunilla Pics from my first Toro Trip in 2001
The typical "erectoclada" you can find surround Molinos and nordwards to Cachi.
Bye
