This is a very common plant in Chile, forming carpets in the higher reaches of the mountains, and all of the local huasos, the Chilean cowboys, know it too well, because it sticks to the skin of the horses, clothes, etc. The good thing about is that its thorns are relatively soft. Still it makes a...

It generally grows on volcanic soils with very good drainage and little organic matter. Snow is not a problem,...

In addition, it also one of the long-living...
