Stairs Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 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 You can view the entire album on Facebook. Please let me know should you encounter any problems viewing the album, or if you have any questions about the trip or plants encountered. Happy Christmas! Alastair.

dimitar Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 You can view the entire album on Facebook. Please let me know should you encounter any problems viewing the album I don't see anything unfortunately. But lucky John from Adelaide sent me a lot pics via skype and we talked a lot from this trip but always is good if I see something different from your view.

Stairs Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Dave, please try now. Apologies for any inconvenience; I simply don't have the time at present to upload them elsewhere. It may help if you are signed into Facebook, although it used to be the case that a public link was a public link. Cheers, Alastair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredders Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Great photos, Did anyone end up climbing Mt Trusmadi? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairs Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Everyone except Nicolas; since that mountain is so straightforward and doesn't require much motivational support, I left them with the local guides and took him south to find the N. bicalcarata. The diversion wasn't a guaranteed thing, so I was really happy that we found it, as it is now the furthest north site that this species is known from.
