Creator Transcript
  • first through a most attractive dry forest of Palocarpus, Juniper + several other species. This is the habitat of Colobus monkey + the Bongo but both of these are more likely to be found on the wetter W [west] + S [south] faces of the mountain than on the N. [north] one up which we were travelling. As we climbed higher the forest thinned into scattered trees of Hagenia + finally to the Erica moors. Here there were great tufts of a grass-like plant ____ [space left blank] + a number of other flowering plants including a relatively small Senecio with fine leaves. the large flowered Proteus [underlined], a brilliant Kniphofia, large patches of a blue flowered plant that I should recognize, [space left blank] At 11000 ft [feet] we began to see our first Senecio [underlined] keniodendron [underlined]. along side small streams + in moist places. The road became very bad + we finally got stuck + took almost an hour to get going again only to find ourselves unable to get the traction needed to climb a hill about 1/4 mile farther along. Saw 2 frankolin [francolin] on the moors also several hill chats " swifts 1 female Malachite sunbird.
