Matucana weberbaueri

Matucana weberbaueri Date: 2000 January 25 Location: Amazonas, Peru (Above) After a long trek, at least this seems to be the species we were looking for.	(Above) M. weberbaueri is distinguished by its pure yellow flowers, so these yellow buds confirmed its identity.
(Below) At last a plant in the sun with a more open flower. Note the considerable variation in the spination of the 3 plants pictured on this page.	(Below) The same plant from the other side.
