At about 5,000 feet I first saw horsetails (Equisetum), very like our own species.

At 6,000 feet, raspberries abound, and thence to the summit of the mountain there are three species of eatable Rubus.

At 7,000 feet Cypresses appear, and the forest trees become reduced in size, and more covered with mosses and lichens.

From this point upward these rapidly increase, so that the blocks of rock and scoria that form the mountain slope are completely hidden in a mossy vegetation.

At about 5,000 feet European forms of plants become abundant.
