Also some cool vining Mutisia species down there, another cool early diverging subfamily of Asteraceae.

2025-01-13 00:42:57 +0000 UTCArchidasyphyllum diacanthoides, really cool spiny tree that's in an early diverging subfamily within Asteraceae (Barnadesioideae). Saw a bunch when I was down there, but none with flowers.

2025-01-13 00:33:19 +0000 UTCThere's a monotypic genus in myrtaceae called Legrandia concinna, seems interesting. Also Orites myrtoideus, a rare member of proteaceae that only lives on lava fields EDIT: probably should have checked instagram first, I think Legrandia used to be called Luma concinna so the L. apiculata photos scratched that itch. Keep the myrtaceae coming though 👍

2025-01-10 03:20:13 +0000 UTCAlso I think this would be a good opportunity to school us on Antarctic flora, like why are there Fitzroya fossils in Tasmania? Proteaceae? In Chile?🤔

2025-01-08 23:59:27 +0000 UTCShow off some Loasaceae! Such interesting flowers

2025-01-08 23:54:46 +0000 UTCAnything out there will be great to experience. If you come across some Proteaceae, orchids or carnivorous plants I would love to see them! Have fun.

2025-01-08 12:51:30 +0000 UTCMajor wants already mentioned above and I would really love to see members of Proteacaea from this area in situ, enjoy!

2025-01-08 10:17:01 +0000 UTCFor me is geology and botany...knowing the place and what is living there...
Ana Rita
2025-01-08 08:55:20 +0000 UTCWould love to see some of the Nothofagus species down there, and Saxegothea conspicua in situ would be nice to see as well! Have a nice trip, thanks for showing us around!

2025-01-08 08:53:30 +0000 UTCVery tasty berries too
Hayden Wright
2025-01-08 07:05:37 +0000 UTCAraucaria and Fitzroya are kind of obvious candidates for feature treats. Fuchsia magellanica looks bad ass, Gesneriaceae seems juicy. Ochagavia would be awesome! In the area I think your going Cactaceae isn’t present on inat so maybe keep an eye out for dat. And of course keep pressing Alan for the Gomphus calendar- or maybe go for the Touch my Monkey Puzzle edition. Have fun man!

Patrick O'Connor
2025-01-08 04:54:21 +0000 UTCIf you see Ribes magellanicum (or any other ribes) I need you to crush a leaf and tell me what it smells like. That species has crazy glands

2025-01-08 04:49:12 +0000 UTCThere's a population of Pinguicula chilensis in Nahuelbuta national park, which is also refugium to the last Araucaria araucana coastal forest. Orchids and some cool parasitics to be seen too.
Maureen Mailander
2025-01-08 04:35:01 +0000 UTCParque Valle los Ulmos is a really cool nature preserve on the side of a Vulcan Calbuco near Puerto Montt, they host researchers frequently. Eruptions are fairly frequent (approx. every 50 years, last was in 2016) so it's a very interesting ecosystem/disturbance regime. Would be worth contacting them if it sounds interesting!

2025-01-08 04:05:34 +0000 UTCI will be stoked to see old-growth Fitzroya cupressoides and Valdivian temperate forests in general.
Rex Wu
2025-01-08 03:46:47 +0000 UTCI would love to see some hummer pollinated plants like Schizanthus hookerii Gillies, Chloraea chrysantha Poepp. and Sarmienta repens Ruiz & Pav.

2025-01-08 03:27:02 +0000 UTCHmmm. South American carnivorus plants? Orchids? Any N. American natives established in S. America? Are they aggressive? Ya jadrool. Thanks!

2025-01-08 03:13:12 +0000 UTCThere are a few railroads down there, some examples of rail-side ecologies compared to up here could be neat.
