  Thanks! I think visually it's a strong match, especially the leaves. The only thing doubtful is distribution, it's originally not found in South America. It's known to have spread around the world but it is somewhat strange to find it at 4,000m where most normal plants can't survive. Will go for it tentatively for now. Posted 3 years ago
