Late in the afternoon
I motored out to the gap
with Corntington west of
Town some 6 miles. Here
there were many small
tulip trees growing here
on red clay hills that
soil which was badly
furrowed + worked away
by rains owing to clearing
of spray weeds.
On
the roadside I saw
a Durian tree with
its tuberculate fruit
growing on the terminal
branches. Inspecting
J Gibbons Robinson
said that some species
were dimorphic the brown
ones being conspicuously
in black & that they
sometimes changed from
brown to black midveined
