SUMMARY:
At Pangchen the diarist and Ludlow were confined to bed with fever and severe sore throats for several days, while Danong searched nearby with limited success. Several plants are noted, including Clematis montana and various Rhododendron and Primula species, amid intermittent heavy rain. By 3 April they felt weak but ready to move on.

1st April. Halt. Ludlow and I have spent the last three days
in bed with some kind of a fever and a most awful throat.
I have no idea what it was or why we got it. The
throat has by no means gone yet, but fever nearly has.
Danong has searched round about, but has not found
anything much. Prim. boothii is pretty common in
suitable places, and P. erythrocarpa also. One nice Rhododendron
(Rhod. epapillatum) was found, but only one flower out, 1252. There has
been quite heavy rain on and off these last three days, with
always bright intervals. Probably our throats have
been much the same as Danong and Tsongpen had. Whatever
they are, they are most extremely unpleasant, and I hope we
are both finished with them now.

3rd April. Pangchen. We both feel as if we could
make a move tomorrow though very weak. When walking
we have the feeling of being drunk, but I suppose that is
only weakness. There has not been much to do here,
and I will be glad to get on again where I feel there
will be more flowers. The monsoon almost seems to have
arrived already. It has rained on and off every day we have

SUMMARY:
Monsoon rains begin, pleasing local Lopas and Tibetans, and the party notes cultivation of wheat, potatoes, and turnips while offering seeds for sowing. Ramzana finds a new primula (1662, Primula yargongensis) by a hill stream and another primula (1663, P. florindae) in meadows; headmen bring provisions as the party arranges for paid services and medical help.

right down - typical monsoon weather in fact. The locals are rather pleased. They had had no rain till yesterday and connected its coming with ours. They seem to be a mixture of Lopas and Tibetans, some pure Lopas. The valley opens out a lot here and the hillsides are 'jhummed' a good deal. There is considerable cultivation - wheat, potatoes and turnips and the natives are very pleased at our offer of seeds to sow in their ground - for our use - though they will no doubt have as much as we do. None of us went out any distance, but Ramzana walked on to a primula which is new to us, 1662 (Prim. yargongensis), growing on the bank of a hill stream. There were only 6 or 8 flowers, so I think it must have come down from further up stream. But there is also another primula 1663 (P. florindae), a big yellow sikkimensis one, growing in the meadows opposite camp. It has very fine leaves, and stands about 2 ft high, like helodoxa. We were brought some eggs, butter and greens by the headmen, and we told them all we wanted was service in the way of coolies and would pay for everything and would doctor them. Immediately we were asked to remove a
