As the macachina was the first wild flower to blossom in the land it had as great an attraction to us children as the wild strawberry, ground-ivy, celandine, and other first blooms for the child in England.
The macachina was like the wood-sorrel in shape, both flower and leaf, but the leaves were much smaller and grew close to the ground, as the plant flourished most where the grass was close- cropped by the sheep, forming a smooth turf like that of our chalk downs.
The Estancia Canada Seca Low lands and floods Don Anastacio, a gaucho exquisite A greatly respected man Poor relations Don Anastacio a pig-fancier Narrow escape from a pig Charm of the low green lands The flower called macachina A sweet-tasting bulb Beauty of the green flower-sprinkled turf A haunt of the golden plover The Bolas My plover-hunting experience Rebuked by a gaucho A green spot, our playground in summer and lake in winter The venomous toad-like Ceratophrys Vocal performance of the toad-like creature We make war on them The great lake battle and its results.
In spring and early summer the low-lying areas about Canada Seca were pleasant places to see and ride on where the pigs had not defaced them: they kept their bright verdure when the higher grounds were parched and brown; then too, after rain, they were made beautiful with the bright little yellow flower called macachina.
