PLANTS COLLECTED IN ECUADOR

explained that it was named so because it was the river where they got a 

 certain kind of ornamental bead which they used (from Etza— the name of the 

 bead, being the seed of a vine which I did not see in flower or fruit but prob- 

 ably one of the Fabaceae, and Enza — meaning "water" or, by extension, 

 "stream" or "river"). 



Kumza, Rio— Confluent with the Rio Yunganza; Map 1, 



Leon, Rib — Rio Leonhuaico of 1/m map, NW of Oha. 



Loma de Oro — Hill above 10,000 ft. elev. in the Nudo de Guagrauma (q.v.). 



Malacatos — About 27 km. S of Loja; on some maps listed as Valledolido Not to be 

 confused with the Valledolid of 1/m map further south across the Nudo de 

 Sabanilla in the Oriente. 



Mataperro — The region around the Paso de Mataperros. 



Mataperros, Paso de— Cord, del Cisne, W-NW of Loja. 



Mirador — A locality on Cerro Partidero (q.v,) on main trail to Mendez, 



Moro-moro— About 10 km. west of Pihas, which is west of Zaruma on 1/m map 



Naranjapata— A small village in the canon of the Rio Chanchan about midway be- 

 tween Huigra and Bucay (q.v.), 



Nariho, Dept., Colombia— While working on the uplands in Prov. Carchi, Ecuador, 

 we inadvertently crossed the unmarked boundary and found ourselves in Co- 

 lombia, near the village of Chiles. A few numbers were therefore actually 

 taken in Colombia. 



Negro, Rio— Map 1. In Jorgensen No. OH J 6 this refers to the lower Rio Negro 



(or Chupiantza) SW of Mendez. 

 Nudo— Literally a "knot" and applied to E-W "cross ranges" connecting the 



main, generally N-S Andean ranges; alphabetized under place name rather 



than "Nudo." 



Ontza, Rio — Central Cutucu. Should read Rio Tzantza (Map 2). This is an error 

 which occurs on labels for Nos. 1177-1197, The Jivaro with me at the time 

 and who was naming the plants (and streams) as we passed was unusually 

 soft-voiced and used a broad "a," stressing the first vowel; I did not catch 

 the low, sibilant "tz." The original field book error was inadvertently copied 

 when the labels were printed, 



Pailas — See Pilas, 



Pan American Highway— As used, this refers to the segment between Cuenca and 

 Loja. The kilometers are numbered from Cuenca. Km. 20 is where the Cuenca- 

 Giron road branches from Highway; Cumbe, km. 28; Paramo de Tinajillas, 

 km. 4^; Rio Leon, km. 97; Oha, km. 108; Paramo de Carboncilla, km. 125; 

 Saraguro, km. 147; Nudo de Guagrauma and Loma de Oro, km. 159. From here 

 to Loja the kilometers had not been marked. 



Paramo— Treeless areas at the higher elevations in the Andes, in Ecuador usually 

 being above 10,500 ft. Alphabetized by place name and not under paramo. 



Parroquia— "Parish"; used by F. Prieto. These minor places have been located 

 on labels with reference to places on the 1/m map. 



Partidero, Cerro— Just west of Mendez and south of the Rfo Paute; Map 2. 



Partidero, El — A locality with scattered farm settlements on the Cerro Parti- 

 dero (q,v.). 



Pati (Jivaria of )— Ghinassi transliterates this common personal name as Patehi, 

 and it is so used in pertinent passages in this account. I listened with spe- 

 cial care to the pronunciation of this name as given by "Patehi" himself, 

 and wrote the above; what I did not then know was that the last syllables are 

 often modified or dropped in informal conversation in Jivaro. The name Pa- 

 tehi means "second born." 



Patos, Rfo— Confluent with the Rfo Negro; Map 1.
