dropped off.

100 METERS, II-7-62
150 specimens.

In the Khammam area
the so called coastal plain
is characterized by many
hillocks of granite, outcropping
steeply from gently rolling
flatlands. The plain itself is
much more dry and less farmed

than the regions nearer the
coast. These specimens were
collected under stones on the steep
slopes of one hillock near
Khammam; the vegetation consisted
of clumps of grass between the
rocks and scattered
thorn bushes 2 to 3 feet high.
The ground was dry in most
places, slightly moist below the
surface in the shade of large
boulders.
