Documentation of different Flowers as well as Trees and Bushes that I found south of Santiago de Chile and Patagonia while traveling by bike. Plant descriptions refer primarily to the knowledge I obtained talking to the local community and by auto research on the internet. I, not being the greatest botanical freak, would appreciate a lot by telling me via “comments” if any mistakes in classification or description are detected. Thanks!
