Please refer to all the previous stops indicated above for the plants previously reported.

This time we spotted a new find for this location, a Euphorbia that looks very similar to E. thinophila that we found during Copiapoathon 2004, but this location is much farther south than any of our previous findings. Is this possible?

The find is complicated by the nature of the flora here - a mixture of endemics and imported garden plants such as Carpobrotus, Agave and Aloe. Could the Euphorbia be an imported exotic?
