So - cho - to village
without underbush.
In places I saw a slender
Juniper for the first time,
Many flowers were seen in
the hedges bordering rice fields.
The commonest was a pale blue
Colembree. A showy flower was
a many white Rosaceae
2 inches in diameter + green's
on a small straight branch.
A pine-fox was another new
flower. There were blue
carpers, & purple astale.
The sides of the valley out of
which we climbed were sand-
stone, the road slippery yellow
clay. Furtheron I saw lava
formation. W.C.I 2:3 p.m.
we made camp at a isolated
temple in rice fields near
the village of So - cho - ta.
Purple laburnus or ausp dragons,
lined the road. At one place I saw
a field of white balsams but there
is such a cultivated crop grown.
The rain continued all night
therefore no mosquitoes & marvels.
