Tarapaca and Antofagasta, and the region of the Llanquihue 
lakes, appear to have been less visited than most districts. 
To sum up: the impression obtained by the studies detailed 
above is that the two areas most likely to provide a large number 
of new plants are: (1) the territory of the Neuquen (hardy plants), 
and (2) the province of Jujuy (sub-tropical and montane plants).
