Hypericum irazuense Kuntze ex N. Robson in the Buenavista and Chirripó páramos of Costa Rica: Photographs of Stem Cross Sections, Plants, and Study Sites

Hypericum irazuense Kuntze ex N. Robson is a common shrub in the high-elevation páramos that occur above treeline on the high peaks of the Cordillera de Talamanca in Costa Rica and westernmost Panama. In this report and accompanying high-resolution images we make available photographs of stem cross sections, plants, and habitats of H. irazuense in support of a recent study of the dendrochronological potential of the species (Kerr et al., forthcoming paper in Physical Geography) and other research on this plant and the páramo vegetation in which it occurs. We also include images from the Google Earth^TM map server and portions of topographic maps showing locations of study sites.
