Venezuelan plants

Hello

These photos are from the Venezuelan paramo or a little lower down in the cloud forest. Any help with the genus would be appreciated Many thanks, Dion

 

#2: Episcia.

 

1. Looks like a Fuchsia.

Quote from Google...." Over three-quarters of the species of Fuchsia occur in South America"

 

#1 Fuchsia sp.

#2 Epicia sp.

#4 Bryophyllum pinnatum - weed, not native

#5 Maybe Philodendron sp. or Gunnera sp.?

#6 maybe something Ericaceous?

 

#6 Gaultheria ???

 

5 is a Gunneria, not an aroid at all. Nice example of how big they get! Otherwise, agree with everybody else´s IDs.

3 could also be a Tibouchina, but I´d want to see a closeup.

 

The Gaultheria looks as though related to G. shallon.

 

#5 is Homo sapiens...sheesh, I'm surprised that nobody knew that...

;)

 

Many thanks for your id's! Yes, under the Gunneras it is indeed H.sapiens, left female right male of the species..

In their natural habitat no doubt? LOL
