摘要
A yellowish-green, compact (rather like a cauliflower), resinous cushion shrub, the Ilareta, Azorella compacta (Embelliferae) occurs in the high Andes of southern Peru, Bolivia, northeastern Chile and northwestern Argentina. Now endangered through excessive cutting for fuel, it is widely used in local medicines and may even have a pharmaceutical potential for treating diabetes.
