Scope and content
SUMMARY:
The page lists Primula, Rhododendron, and Lilium/Nomocharis records from Lo La, Lo La Chu, Sengo Sambu, and near Molo, with a note referencing Ludlow specimen 1868 dated 26/06/1936. It records that on May 24 G. Taylor left for Lilung in the Tsangpo Valley after discovering a new race of Yunnan Greenfinch, and the party then split between the Molo area and routes toward Lilung and the Dashong La.

slender in these three primulas, but this I believe does vary in Petiolaris primulas a good deal.
-
Primula glabra (Genestieriana?) Lo La
-
Primula lactea (Roylei). P. lactea from this area seem remarkably large flowered. Today I noticed many very dark forms, which had no yellow eye, which I always associated with P. Roylei. Clumps of the no eye one, are fairly common, but the two never mix. Probably there are only under 5% with no eye.
-
Rhododendron forrestii var. (repens). This has 2 flowers in almost every case (not 1 as expected) & has a loose brown indumentum on leaf upper surface, which may be rubbed off in drying. Lo La
-
Rhododendron pumilum (Dwarf sp. 2-4"). Lo La
-
Rhododendron calostrotum (campylogynum). SEED. Lo La near Molo
-
Rhododendron chaetomallum var. chamaephytum (sp.). Seems to be somewhere near Rhododendron chamaephytum (repens), but has a very large leaf. As very few flowers I did not open any for examination. Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu
-
Primula Calderiana (Roylei) var. alba. Very few seen. Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu
-
Primula ioessa. = Ludlow 1868 of 26.6.36. These specimens are only very early ones, but they do not at all resemble P. ioessa type 2514 from Migyitun. Should they not be nearer P. vinosa? Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu
-
Rhododendron pumilum (fraude?) Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu
-
Rhododendron lanatum var. luciferum (sp.). Sengo Sambu, Lo La Chu
-
Seed only of Lilium (Nomocharis) nana and/or Souliei. Both grow together here, from the capsule I can't say which is which. Lo La
No. 17a - Skin set
On May 24. G. Taylor left for Lilung in the Tsangpo Valley where he discovered a new race of the Yunnan Greenfinch.
No. 355 Hypacanthis ambiguus taylori, a form much closer to the Yunnan ambiguus than to the typical race. More & more of the avifauna of S.W. China was forcing itself on our attention.
24th May * Party separates
G.S. remains in Molo area to work the upper reaches of the Langong Chu, Thide La, Lo La, Tsari Sarma passes.
L & T go off to Lilung & down the Tsangpo work the passes in the vicinity of the Dashong La.
They thus separate for the whole of the season & the result is a bigger & more representative collection.
