STOP 251 - SINGAPORE:
BUKIT TIMAH, 100 FT.,
VI-4-62
1000 specimens

Bukit Timah Forest Reserve
occupies one of the highest hill
areas on Singapore Island.
The forest, though not extremely
large, covers very steep
countryside. Many trails
create excellent accessability
for collecting in the understory,
and some sunny border
areas can also be reached.
The trees are quite tall and
the understory thick in
most places. Most specimens
were collected in filtered
shade. The ground was
still quite moist from
recent rains.
Weather - sunny - 90° F .
Humidity high.
All trees - evergreen.

100 ft. represents a sort of
average altitude.

standing and felled stumps
& logs. Most specimens
were collected under bark
flakes. Weather - partially
cloudy, late afternoon -
85°-90° F.
