MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



[ Vol. 8, No. 1 



Chasqui, Paramo de— Near the village of Chasqui, Prov. Leon. 



Chiguango, Rio— The headwaters of the Rio Yaguachi; the Rfo Chiguango has its 



primary source in the Paso de Mataperros. 

 Chontal, Hda. (Hacienda)— Valley of the Rfo Negro; Map 1. 



Chontal, Tambo— Above confluence of Rio La Paz with Rfo Negro (same locality 



as Hacienda Chontal). Map 1. 

 Chupiantza— Jorgensen Nos. OH J 4 & 5; refers to uplands south of Mendez (see 



next). 



Chupiantza, Rio— There is considerable confusion over the application and spell- 

 ing of this name. The 1/m map has the Chupianza (a variant spelling) just 

 south of and confluent with the Rfo Paute, being the lower reaches of the 

 Rio Negro; I have used this in Nos. 1540-1570 as a locality and in conjunc- 

 tion with the Rio Negro, so there should be no confusion. The Rfo Chupi- 

 antza of most labels is confluent with the Upano north of Mendez. To add to 

 the confusion, the name Chupiangas, apparently interchangeable with Chupi- 

 antza and Chupianza, is likely to occur on future maps, but whether for the 

 stream north of Mendez or as the lower reaches of the Rio Negro will depend 

 on the whim of the cartographer involved. See Map 2 (also see above). 



Chupianza — See above. 



Chupiasa, Rfo— Perhaps an error in my transliteration, since Ghinassi lists a Rfo 

 Chiviaza for the region. One night in camp the Jivaros (at my instigation) 

 had an argument about place and river names for the region. As nearly as I 

 could gather, they agreed (with some dissenting voices) that this river was 

 the Chupiasa rather than the Chiviaza; and so it was listed in my field book 

 and on the labels. However, on the map I have bowed to Ghinassi, and used 

 his transliteration as probably being more correct (Map 2). 



Consuelo, Tambo — Between Rfo La Paz and Rfo Pailas; Map 1. 



Cruzado, Cerro el— Trail between Indanza and Gualaceo; Map L 



Cumbe, Rfo — Rises on paramo beyond Cumbe and is confluent. with the Rfo Tarqui 

 near the village of Tarqui. This area is enshrined in the history of Ecuador 

 as being the deciding field of battle in the country's fight for independence, 



Cutucu, Cordillera — Map 2. A range just east of the Rfo Upano and about 80 km. 

 east of the crest of the Cordillera Oriental, and a northward extension of the 

 Cord, del Condor. Its uplift was more recent than that of the Cord. Oriental, 

 the most recently elevated of the main Andean ranges. 



Etzentza— See Itzintza. 



FF. CC. — Spanish abbreviation for Railroad. 



Gloria, La— Valley slope S of Rfo Pastaza opposite El Topo (q.v.). At time of 

 colle ctions this was a tree nursery operated by the Mision de Cinchona. 



Guagrauma, Nudo de — Cross range about 12 km. S of Saraguro and 55 km. N of 

 Loja. Paso Ramos-urcu and Paso Atacana of 1/m map are in this range. 



Guyaba, Rfo— Branch of the Rfo Catamayo, entering it near La Toma; spelled 

 Guyabal on 1/m map. 



Huatracaj a— Uplands NE of Azogues; Map 1. This is the region of the Cerro 

 Yausan (elev. 3632 m.) of the 1/m map. On several occasions while alone 

 attempts were made to get to the top without cutting trail but I was stopped 

 each time by a particularly heavy sotobosque developed near the 11,000 

 ft. elev. 



Indanza— On trail S-SW from Mendez; see Map 1 and 1/m map. 



Itzintza— This should have been transliterated as Etzentza (Map 2). I listened 

 with special care to the pronunciation of the name, for it was the locale of 

 our base-camp in the central Cutucu, and to me it definite!} nad more of an 

 "i" than "e" sound; however, I bow to Ghinassi's transliteration. Patehi
