The brushwood along the foot of the precipices and on 



the rock ledges. 



Above the closed forest cover the dark gray basalt ridges rise precipitously 

 in steps; at the foot of the escarpment the forest dissolves; shrubs and low- 

 trees colonize the narrow ledges and fissures where some soil is found. The 

 sun heats the rock, and in the middle of a clear day the temperature may be as 

 high as near the coast, and showers are frequent. Here the sun- and light-loving 

 rosette trees develop their full splendour.

 face of Cerro Piramide, c. 590 m, 31/3 191 7. Upper margin of forest, where 

 the rosette trees are concentrated to open spaces between the trees; perhaps better 

 described as a complex of two sociations.
