Image - Anconquija Region, Argentina(CPD Site SA35)


CPD Site SA35: A valued traditional medicine plant, Lycopodium cf. saururus is widespread but rare. Continued pressure from plant collectors is threatening the species. The Anconquija region is a treasure trove of such valuable species, with ideal conditions to protect them. This photo was taken at Cumbres Calchaquíes at 2935 m, Tucumán, Argentina.
