Typical lower montane forest, surveyed from 300 to 450 m, where the steep 

 rock wall is met with. Not analyzed in detail. At 350—450 m some new elements 

 appear, solitar>' trees of Rhaphithamnus, Juania, Rea micrantha, and Acara, further 

 Chusquea; Gunnera peltata is scattered, and, over the stones trails Arthropteris 

 (abundant) and Blechnum Schottii (much rarer), rising high up in the trees. Evi- 

 dently the upper montane type is approached.
