Endro, Acun, and Bambang spent 2009-03-30 to 2009-04-01 at
Lubuk Baji. They made 23 collections. Their largest
collection was a flowering Amorphophallus!

Cam, Endro, Acun, Edi and Bambang climbed to the top of Gunung
Peramas on 2009-03-12. The summit trees included the
widespread, coppicing Castanopsis, the cauliflorous Durio
macrophyllus, and dense, mature Macarangas. We saw Shorea
parvistipulata, and a small leaved Hopea, but no
Dipterocarpus. The summit region has a dense carpet of
Phrynium, indicating moist conditions. These are surely
created by the daily cloud-cap that sits on the hill top
in the early morning.

Bambang Suryantoro (my National Park counterpart), Eka, and
myself have now made two collecting trips to Gunung Peramas,
in the Gunung Palung National Park. The forest was lightly
disturbed, with a coastal influence (i.e., probably quite dry
in the dry season). The collections are already up on the web.
