Yippee! I may get the chance in January to visit Patagonia (Chile side - Punta Arenas area) to undertake a forestry audit. Does anyone out there have any information or leads on that particular part of the planet, especially with regard to tree species, flora and fauna? Any leads appreciated. Alas, no assistants required!

Julian,

I refered your request for information to our Vice President for Botanical Science. We have alot of people who work in S. American but Chili has not been one of our bigger efforts. I will pass on any information he may provide regarding contact people here or there, and written floras he may be aware of. Many of these areas have no definitive floras however, that's what keeps us in business!!

regards and happy holidays

Wayne

Julian,

I looked into plants of Patagonia and you should try querying the NYBG web site. www.nybg.org and go to CATALPA which is our library catalogue and query by plants of Patagonia

enjoy
