Cover: Eriosyce caligophila R. Pinto, a new species described in this issue, is endemic to the coast south of Iquique. The plants, about 4 cm diameter, grow hidden in fragmentary rocks. The background shows hills of the Cordillera de la Costa in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, home to the fog ecosystem of Alto Chipana, 900 m altitude, 2 km from the coastline above the cliffs. Photos by Arturo Kirberg.
