also called the Rio Madre de Dios], 11 km. (by
air) NE of Riberalta.
10°54'S, 66°03'W	alt. 125 m.
Huge sand island, now at lowest water level of
the year, with no permanent vegetation, only a
few annuals and waifs on driftwood.
Growing in soil among buttress woods of large
tree trunk in driftwood and probably came with
it from the Andes; a quartzite pebble in place,
5 cm. long, indicates it could not be from the
lowlands. Leaves silvery white beneath.
