SUMMARY:
The page distinguishes P. sikkimensis from P. Hopeana by calyx features and notes that P. Hopeana here has a pinkish to red tube, possibly approaching P. Waltoni. It also mentions chasmophila and references P. umbratilis? with number 33014.

CONTENT:
Here P. sikkimensis No , is very much mixed up with
P. Hopeana. But they are distinct, as can be seen from the calyx.
P. Hopeana here shows a pinkish tube, sometimes quite red, which
I suppose goes nearer to P. Waltoni. But I have seen no P. Hopeana
here, where the corolla is red tinted.

chasmophila
P. umbratilis? 33014 See opposite.

SUMMARY:
The team shifted to studying regional flora with Mr. Francis W. Pennell of the New York Botanical Garden, who spent two weeks collecting around the camp and on nearby high mountains. He identified many new species and regional records, provided distribution insights relating plants to fauna, and the team compiled a plant collection relevant to their work.

CONTENT:
The new phase of our work in the field
has been to study the flora of the
region in the same way that we have
been studying the fauna. We have been
able to do this in a very satisfactory
way as we have had with us during
the past two weeks Mr. Francis W. Pennell
of the New York Botanical Garden who
has been making a special study of the
flora of the Andes. He has been
collecting plants in the vicinity of
our camp and has also made two
trips to the high mountains near here.
He has found a large number of species
that are new to science and has also
found many that have not been recorded
from this part of the country. He has
also been able to give us much valuable
information in regard to the distribution
of the plants in this region and their
relation to the fauna. We have also
been able to make a collection of the
plants that are of interest to us in
connection with our work.

SUMMARY:
The diarist encountered blood pheasants with chicks, attempted photographs, and preserved two chicks in spirit, noting their soft-part colors; later it clouded over and rained, and he took colour photos of a new primula and a small blue plant. On return, he met the Dzongpen's man, who arranged coolies and emphasized etiquette on the kingkor.

CONTENT:
Other flowers. On our way back I came across a pair of blood pheasant. The cock bird ran straight at me to within a few yards, so I knew they had young chicks out. We sat down and waited, and found two. All the time we were there the hen kept about 20 yards away, racing round and round and calling the alarm note. The cock bird was bolder though, and came right up to 3 or 4 ft of me often. I had a camera and did my best to get a photo or two, but was very excited and made rather a mess of things I fear. I took the two chicks and have put them in spirit. Colours of soft parts are Bill - dull coral; legs and feet - pale brownish salmon; iris - pale slate; no occipital patch to be seen yet. Both are in methylated spirit, and I wonder if they will keep.

Clouded over in the evening and started to rain, with clouds right down, by about 6.0 p.m. A most interesting day. I got four colour photos of the new primula and little blue one 2154. The Dzongpen's man met me on return. He seems helpful and has arranged coolies. He was most emphatic about etiquette on the kingkor. I must not even cook meat
