Aristolochia sp. ‘Shanango’
Aristolochiaceae. Small perennial caudex with sprawling annual stems. 
Arrow shaped blue-green leaves. Flowers yet to be observed but we’re sure 
they’ll be delightfully bizarre like others in the genus. Dry forest, 
Shanango, Jaen, Cajamarca Dept., Peru. New species? Succulent type soil 
and care. Z9/10? 
Plant 1+ year old $8.50

Azorella aff. trifurcata
Apiaceae. Bizarre plant that forms dense, flattened, dark green mats made 
up of little rosettes of shiny trifurcate leaves. Small yellow flowers. 
Endemic to the high southern Andes, seed collected by Holubec, Laguna 
Amargo, Torres el Paine, Chile. Used in ethnomedicine for stomach 
problems, contains  mulinane diterpenoids with gastroprotective properties 
and a diversity of essential oils with antibacterial and insect repellant 
action. In cultivation it wants a gritty moist soil and bright light. 
Avoid scorching sun. With the plants rubbery feel its the perfect thing to 
line the paths of your rock garden. Rooted offsets from several clones.
