Distribution of dragon claw balls
Only five species of dragon claw bulbs inhabit Izcuna to Tocopilla. C. Golden-clawed Dragon ahremephiana) and Blue Dragon Maru (C. Decortican) is the most limited in distribution, found only in the drainage area of the Botija Valley.
Ichthyosaurus (C. tenuissima) is the smallest growing of this species, with a larger distribution range, but due to its small size and difficulty in finding specimens, its distribution range may be much wider than expected. Currently, known distributions range from Botija North Peak to El Cobre (a Chilean place name rich in copper), but it may still survive in smaller, more favorable habitats farther north, where almost no exploration has been conducted. C. Tiger Black King was recorded halfway from northern Antofagasta to Tocopilla. tocopilana), but only in a very few places. That's because the terrain is rugged, and the species doesn't seem to have survived until now at altitudes above 1,000 meters. Since there is no road to the hills, exploration needs to start walking from coastal roads at offshore level. The coastal cliffs in this area are also very steep, making the climb into the habitat very difficult and slow. All the species mentioned so far grow within 5 km of the ocean.
The Sphere of the Sun has the widest distribution range, stretching for 170 km from south of Izkuna to 60 km north of Antofagasta, and the southern community that inhabits the upper Botija Valley is by far the healthiest and richest. This is followed by a large inland community from El Cobre. Here, most of the plants are dead now, seemingly within the last few decades. To the north of this area, there appears to be at least 120 km of fault zones, and then encounter northern populations near Naguayán. Here, only a few percent of the plants are still alive. The further north you go, the fewer living plants there are. The northernmost population appears to grow only at the bottom of the inland hills, low altitudes, from Highway 5.
The above is the personal opinion of the editor, if there is something wrong, welcome flower friends in the comment area axe (remember to like the attention, the editor will work harder to write).
