Dos magníficas y valiosas figuras de bronce que fueron donadas por la famimia aristocrática Lyon a la ciudad de Santiago
El propio señor Ricardo Lyon, casado con doña Loreto Cousiño Goyenechea y propietario del fundo, había hecho instalar las estatuas en su terreno adquirido sobre parte de la que antes había sido la vieja Chacra de Lo Bravo, por ahí por donde está hoy la avenida Los Leones, justamente. Se loteó un tiempo después el fundo "Los Leones", de 1.200 hectáreas, y así desapareció atravesado por las líneas de la ciudad. Este cuadrante corresponde al que se halla actualmente entre las calles Providencia, Lota, Ricardo Lyon y la mencionada Los Leones, aunque otras fuentes de la época señalan que colindaba incluso con avenida Pedro de Valdivia
Otro detalle interesante es que la presencia de estas estatuas en la hacienda era un emblema relativo al apellido de su familia, cuya traducción y escudo heráldico era precisamente, alusivo al icono del León. Su diseño, sin embargo, no es exclusivo: está basado en las figuras de leones ornamentales parisinos producidos por la famosa fundición Val d'Osne y fueron creadas en el siglo XIX por el escultor Paul Edouard Delabrière bajo la dirección del artista Pierre-Louis Rouillard

Two magnificent and valuable bronze figures that were donated by the Lyon aristocratic family to the city of Santiago
Mr. Ricardo Lyon himself, married to Mrs. Loreto Cousiño Goyenechea and owner of the farm, had had the statues installed on his purchased land on part of what had previously been the old Lo Bravo farm, around where Los Angeles Avenue is today. Lions, exactly. Some time later, the 1,200-hectare farm "Los Leones" was divided into lots, and thus it disappeared, crossed by the lines of the city. This quadrant corresponds to the one that is currently between Providencia, Lota, Ricardo Lyon streets and the aforementioned Los Leones, although other sources of the time indicate that it was even adjacent to Pedro de Valdivia avenue
Another interesting detail is that the presence of these statues in the hacienda was an emblem related to his family's surname, whose translation and heraldic shield were precisely alluding to the icon of the Lion. Its design, however, is not exclusive: it is based on the Parisian ornamental lion figures produced by the famous Val d'Osne foundry and created in the 19th century by sculptor Paul Edouard Delabrière under the direction of artist Pierre-Louis Rouillard.

Abaxial petiole and rachis with their dense indument.
This stately palm is one of my favourites. It rather resembles an Archontophoenix but is far more beautiful. Aside from its beautiful silhouette and long lavender-grey crownshaft, the petioles and rachises are densely covered in attractive rusty-brown felt-like indument. It is the tallest palm species endemic to New Caledonia and at 25m towers over forest canopy. Visible from great distances from its habitat in a 10 x 17 km area in Col d'Amos and the Pam Peninsula ridge, 300-600m elev in NE Caledonia it grows gregariously on soils derived from schistose rocks. Rare in cultivation due to its slow growth and great dislike of low humidity but it is well worth the patience necessary. The largest and oldest specimen outside of NC is at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden. This species thrives in the moist windward areas of the Hawaiian archipelago but struggles in the semi-arid leeward areas.
I donated this seedling to the National Tropical Botanical Garden, Lāwa'i, Kaua'i.
