My second adventure concludes
The next day I took the express bus back from Quepos to San Jose and thus ended my second adventure in Costa Rica. I had searched for Costus barbatus and although I had not found it I had checked out several potential locations and I had seen several other Costus that I had not seen before that trip in flower and in the wild. My plant list for this trip is not quite as long as the first trip to the Osa, but a good list none the less.
- Costus montanus
- Costus curvibracteatus
- Costus sp. aff. allenii or guanaiensis
- Costus pulverulentus
- Costus laevis
- Costus villosissimus
- Costus ‘Rancho Sunrise’
- Costus ricus
- Costus glaucus
- Costus scaber
