Peru
« on: October 24, 2009, 05:02:04 PM »
My daughter travelled to Peru a month ago and saw these plants at an altitude of over 4000 m not far from Colca canyon in the Arequipa area in the South of the country.

Can anybody help with an ID ??

Hi Luc ,

I think I can help :
This is

Azorella compacta

I have seen it also on my travels in South America -a very interesting plant !

I was going to suggest some sort of Bolax so I guess that wasn't too far out. :)
Co-incidentally Roger has a disc playing of music from Peru and Ecuador, mostly pipes, flutes and similar things. The group performing, was playing at my Market yesterday. They're very good.
