The author describes, at length, the vegetation surrounding the Lake, and that of the route from San Juan. The species springing up after the burning of a Valdivian forest are, besides Funaria hygrometrica, of annuals, Oxalis valdiviana, Calandrinia axilliflora, and Monocosmia corrigioloides. Soon large bushes and under-shrubs, growing socially, spring up, and form almost impenetrable masses. These are chiefly made up of Abutilon vitifolium, Solanum Gayanum (Natri of the Valdivians), and a species of Baccharis. A fourth plant (species of Chusquea), affording a valuable fodder for cattle, sometimes covers large tracts to the exclusion of all others, after the burning of a forest. After a lapse of, perhaps, thirty to forty years, a new generation of the former inhabitants of the forest, nursed in the shade of the foregoing species, prevails, and the temporary occupants are suppressed.
