All the flowers in the Cordilleras appear to be autumnal flowerers--they were all in blow and seed, many of them very pretty.

I gathered them as I rode along on the hill sides.
If they will but choose to come up, I have no doubt many would be great rarities.

In the Mendoza bag there are the seeds or berries of what appears to be a small potato plant with a whitish flower.

They grow many leagues from where any habitation could ever have existed owing to absence of water.

Amongst the Chonos dried plants, you will see a fine specimen of the wild potato, growing under a most opposite climate, and unquestionably a true wild potato.
