Notes compare vegetation in the Tsangpo valley with that near Kyimdong Dz, highlighting distribution differences. Plants usually confined to south slopes are observed north of the Himalayas due to increased rainfall passing the barrier, with examples including Magnolia globosa, Lilium giganteum, and possibly Nymphaea.
