Dear all,
For those who are interested, I've uploaded images from the November-December expedition to Palawan and Borneo.
Highlights include a return visit to Thumb Peak, in the Iwahig Prison & Penal Colony, as well as Mount Victoria and an excursion to see Nepenthes bicalcarata in a lowland peat swamp. Once again, some new orchid taxa were identified, one a saprophyte and the other a remarkable epiphyte. Featured plants include (among others):
Nepenthes deaniana
Nepenthes philippinensis
Nepenthes attenboroughii
Nepenthes reinwardtiana
Nepenthes fusca
Nepenthes macrovulgaris
Nepenthes gracilis
Nepenthes mirabilis
Nepenthes stenophylla
Nepenthes burbidgeae
Nepenthes rajah
Nepenthes villosa (Tambuyukon form)
Drosera ultramafica

Happy Christmas!
Alastair.
