Note 11 — PHYSIOGNOMY OF PLANTS.
Elizabeth Juliana Sabine translation
p. 14.—“The mountain declivities of the southern part of Mexico.”
The greenstone in globular concretions of the mountain district of Guanaxuato is quite similar to that of the Franconian Fichtel-Gebirge. Both form grotesquely shaped summits, which pierce through and cover the transition argillaceous schists. In the same manner, pearl stone, porphyritic schists, trachyte, and pitch-stone porphyry, constitute rocks similar in form in the Mexican mountains near Cinapecuaro and Moran, in Hungary, in Bohemia, and in Northern Asia.
