Spanish term or phrase: drenaje de patrón dendrítico
Como consecuencia, el sistema de drenaje en esta parte del área consiste en torrentes que han dejado evidencias de acumulaciones torrenciales, los llamados conos de deyección, asiento de la población. El resto de la ciudad es dominada por un drenaje de patrón dendrítico especialmente en las zonas de esquistos (rocas metamórficas procedentes de la arcilla) en las colinas al sur del valle.

agree  bigedsenior: Snowflakes, ferns and leaves are examples of dendritic patterns. Drainage should actually be 'reverse dendritic' as it is formed in the opposite direction. Probably not as long as mine, 1959.
