SUMMARY:
The diarist follows a stream with a series of waterfalls near Natrampa, noting numerous rhododendrons (including R. fulvum and R. arizelum), Diapensia himalaica, a deep wine-red primula in bud, and a very small iris; surrounding vegetation includes fir, pine, bamboo, and larch. Trees numbered 1352, 1353, 1354, 1355, and 1357 were marked with tin labels, and an entry from Lung records 7 miles traveled, 65° at 11.30 am, and an elevation of 9,113 ft.

  1. Also a small pink one 1355. Then we followed up the stream, which comes down in a series of waterfalls, as far as we could. Here, above us was an impassable cliff, with two streams coming down fine falls close together. This was an excellent place, as we found numerous rhododendrons,

deal of Diapensia himalaica 1363, carpeting the damp rocks, close to the waterfalls. We could not go far either right or left, but this area should prove very good. We found a few plants of a nice little very deep wine red primula only in bud, and saw iris leaves coming up. It must have been a very small iris, as the leaves looked stunted and were only 2" high. The vegetation, besides rhododendrons, consists mostly of fir and pine, with a good deal of bamboo and some fine larch, 1367. I marked trees of 1352, 1353, 1354, 1355 and 1357 with tin labels.
