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

Hayden Wright

Archidasyphyllum 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.

Rory Donaldson

There'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 👍

Anthony J Malone

Saw it on a rockwall today above a roadcut

Spooner

Also 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?🤔

Issac Ostrom

Show off some Loasaceae! Such interesting flowers

Elizabeth Dickson

Anything 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.

More mushrooms. And if Alan is with you, we need an Alan cameo!

Hildegard von Bigass

I will be in the Puerto Rio Tranquilo area at the end of Jan + beginning of Feb. I don’t know anything about plants but if I see u I will say hi

Ryan Gray

Major wants already mentioned above and I would really love to see members of Proteacaea from this area in situ, enjoy!

Ana Rita

For me is geology and botany...knowing the place and what is living there...

Aard Bewoner

Would 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!

Hayden Wright

Very tasty berries too

Spooner

Araucaria 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!

Heteromeles

Boquila! Lots of them doing their polymorphic happy dance.

Jon Ward

Joey please, squish the glands

Patrick O'Connor

What's gunnera like in native habitat?

Robert Ivin Bees

If 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

Maureen Mailander

There'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.

Hayden Wright

Parque 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!
