High Andean forest
The High Andean Forest collection covers an area of approximately 5218 m ² and, within the garden, corresponds to the strip surrounding the Páramo collection ( Fig. 1G View FIG ). This collection aims to represent the ecosystems found in the Colombian Andes and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, within the altitudinal range of 2800 to 3250 meters above sea level, in areas with temperatures between 8 and 14 °C (Avella-M et al. 2014). The collection includes representative species such as Drimys granadensis L.f., Hesperomeles ferruginea (Juss. ex Pers.) Benth. , Macleania rupestris (Kunth) A.C.Sm. , Myrsine dependens (Ruiz & Pav.) Spreng. , Oreopanax bogotensis Cuatrec. , and Weinmannia pubescens Ruiz & Pav.
