LOCALITY NO. 6 - BATANG SADONG BASIN

 

This is my first time to explore this area. The whole area was completely flooded during the rainy season in November & December 2005. Now is the beginning of dry season, so the water level is quite low.

 

 

 

A jungle stream.

 

 

 

 

Cryptocoryne ferruginea is spotted growing on the tree log.

 

 

 

 

Cryptocoryne ferruginea is growing abundantly near the stream. The population is extremely large in this area.
