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.

1353. 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.

SUMMARY:
Lists pheasant species around Li-kiang with Ibis references and distribution notes across Yunnan, N.E. Burma, Mishmi Hills, and Szechwan, including regional divides. Also notes that ancient Li-kiang has a few stone houses, mostly ruined government buildings with flat roofs and bamboo, and only an old man and woman living there.

SUMMARY:
Notes from Lung describe a rough track above the right bank, forested slopes, and village/camp spots, with few flowering Primula and nearly finished Rhododendron, comparing the area unfavourably to Natrampa. The next day at Lung, the party halts and splits up, sending Pimbo and Danong to inspect the route up the Char Chu.

Lung April 28th
Paeonia lutea var. ludlowii 1376
Prim. whitei 1379
Rhod. arizelum 1380

The path is no more than a track, not made in any way. It leads down stream, usually keeping about 300 ft above the right bank. In places it goes over rock slides, in others through forest of fir & pine. On the whole it is not difficult, & is in pretty good order. At m. 5 the Char Chu comes in from the north, through a very narrow steep gorge. M 6 Lung, consisting of four stone houses, with wood roofs is passed. The valley opens out a little & there is some cultivation at m 7 where camping is good & water excellent. The right bank is wooded throughout with pine & fir; a lot of burning has been carried out, though why it is difficult to say, as there appears to be plenty of ground suitable for cultivation down here - more level & more suitable in every way. So far Lung has not come up to expectations. We have found one primula, over, some rhododendron also very nearly finished. I don't think it can be so good as Natrampa, but will have a better look tomorrow.

29th April. Halt Lung. We split up into three parties today. Pimbo & Danong to inspect the route up the Char Chu: Ludlow

SUMMARY:
Movements are recorded near Lung, with Lumsden and Tenduk exploring a southern valley, Tsongpen a southeastern one, and Pintso reporting a steep climb and descent in the Char Chu gorge; despite a reportedly reasonable route, the party decides to return to Charme via Chayul. Ludlow collects Suthora fulvifrons and rhododendrons, while the diarist notes an early start, a Lopa path possibly leading to Kushung La, and dense mixed forest.

Lumsden & Tenduk up the valley South of Lung itself. Tsongpen himself up a big valley to the South East of camp. Pintso reports a climb of about 1500 through the gorge of the Char Chu, very steep, & an equally steep descent again. Otherwise the route is supposed to be pretty reasonable, but we have decided to go back to Charme. It seems silly to do so as Charme is 11 miles from here, will take us 8 days going back via Chayul. Ludlow got some Suthora fulvifrons, saw a good many rhododendrons & some other flowers. I had an excellent day, & a long one. Left camp at 5.30 & got in just after 2.0 pm. The first 1300 ft or so was up a burnt hillside, which helped a lot. Then I was lucky in finding a Lopa path through the bamboo. This must I think eventually lead to a pass, perhaps the Kushung La. The jungle is pretty dense, consisting of bamboo & rhododendron, birch, fir, pine & larch. The fir looks like Abies Webbiana again. We found eight more rhododendrons, some of which are particularly fine. The prettiest I thought were Rhod. fulvum 1383 with a nicely spotted upper half, & a blush pink flower: a fine

SUMMARY:
Notes several rhododendron specimens (1385–1390) and a primula (P. whitei) collected around 12,500 ft, including a reference to an earlier Sanden Mera specimen. Danung will go higher tomorrow to search for more, and Tenduk found a yellow primula; a brief sighting of tragopan is mentioned. The party intends to move on toward Tsari soon.

big cluster of pale pink flowers, each on a long pedicel, a magenta patch at the base, 1385 (Rhod. hodgsonii): an almost equally big one, rather mauve pink when fully open, 1386 (Rhod. preptum): a beautiful deep crimson tree 1387 (Rhod. erosum), which looks like a barbatum series. The most delicate of the lot 1390 (Rhod. sherriffii), a bell shaped flower, with umbels of 3 or 4 flowers, of a very deep carmine colour (P. whitei). We also found the primula which had been found, withered, near here. It was still in full bloom at about 12500 ft, and turned out to be our old friend of Sanden Mera, No 1168. I collected it under No. 1388 (P. whitei).

Very likely there are more flowers higher up, and Danung will go up tomorrow to see what he can find.

I also saw, just a fleeting glimpse, what I think were tragopan, but could not get a shot at them.

There must be a good many about though, as I heard them calling. One could stay here quite a long time, but Tsari is our aim, so I think we should get on there as soon as possible now. Tenduk found the yellow sikkimensis primula again, just a few specimens of it.

SUMMARY:
The party halted while Purbo and Danong were sent to explore beyond the previous day’s route; Lopa traders carrying madder en route to Tirim visited the camp, were photographed, and their attire was described. Weather held until evening rain, and a decision was made to return to Charme rather than go up the Char River. The following day they marched to Natrampa but saw nothing of note.

30th April. Halt. I did not go out today, but sent Purbo and Danong up beyond where I reached yesterday. In the morning some Lopas arrived here with loads of madder, going up to Tirim. They were at first frightened, but soon became quite happy, and eventually allowed us to photograph them. They are Abors of some kind. Some had most wonderful headdresses on, made of fibre stained black, and falling down over the back. Others had the little neatly woven bamboo hat with a small spout at the back. It is used either as a hat or as a drinking cup - very neat. Others wore very little indeed. Some were much bigger and stronger looking than others. The smaller ones cannot have been more than four feet high.

The route I was on yesterday leads to the Chupung La. Danong returned in the evening, but with no flowers at all - a great disappointment. I was sure something good would come from up there, but he could see nothing, except a primula or two which was just coming up. Today was fine again till the evening, when it rained a little, but nothing to worry about. Decided to return to Charme, not go up the Char River to Charme.

1st May. Natrampa. 7 m. Overcast, but no rain. Saw nothing.
