A permanent slow-flowing stream runs through San Andres Canyon. |
As at the Cerro Colorado site, we found 26 species of succulents on our first visit. However, further survey did not turn up many additional species. |
This is a smaller area than Cerro Colorado, ca. 2 sq. km as compared to 10 sq. km. |
The Pachycormus forest on this hill also has some Euphorbia misera (left foreground) and Hesperoyucca whipplei ssp. eremica. |
Echinocereus maritimus |
Ferocactus gracilis coloratus |
Mammillaria sp. |
