Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
  1. (n) llano
    In some of the Spanish or originally Spanish parts of America, a treeless level steppe or plain. The llanos in the northern part of South America surround the lower and middle course of the Orinoco, and are separated by the great forest-belt of the Amazon from the region of the pampas further south. Many parts of these llanos bear little or no vegetation, except on the banks of rivers and during the seasons of inundation, when they are transformed into seas. In the intermediate season they are luxuriant pastures for great herds of cattle. The Llano Estacado or Staked Plain of the United States is a vast arid plateau in the former Spanish possessions of Texas and New Mexico.
