In several places prominence
red figs were seen hanging in the
road. They were 3 to 4 inches in
diameter, the size of apple
buttons. No commercial value. The
tree which produces them has
irregular elliptical leaves of
ordinary texture & color. Several
other fruits were seen in the
road. Yellow plum shaped ones,
& green olive like fruits or
nuts. How flowers are to be
seen, a coral like plant
bearing white blossom. The hone
ysuckle type is the most
conspicuous. A red flower in
particles is also common.
The stage was a short one
& I reached the brigadon
a Kalongber at 11:45 AM.
The driver was a Kachin
evidently & could talk no
English. He wore a one or
rather two hairless down in a big
hat on his crown.
