Missed this specimen on the way in. It's just after the gate for the first cattle feeding area, where the smaller, muddier trail splits off and continues along side the larger one above.
Thanks goes out to the Garzon Jaramillo family and care takers like Marlene for their efforts in preserving this land in the Mindo Valley. There are so many plants here, my camera wouldn't fit them all if I tried.

This one was just behind the bathroom near the cabin at the intersection of trails 2 and 3.

Very small root systems on these plants, sometimes literally growing ontop of the exposed crown roots of larger trees above. Found a red berry or two.

Nice purple stems and undersides on certain specimens along trails 1-3.

Está planta parece ser un ají miniatura originario de nuestras montañas andinas encontrado en el bosque que cohabito y del cual he sembrado sus semillas.
