16 August where Jimyuel and I found B. Compacta, with
a upper canopy of trees and a lower canopy of bamboo.
Returning along the road, rocks and logs were turned
as they had been on the way up, and only one kane

adjacent to a second-growth oak woodland.
This excursion lasted from 10:30AM-4:30PM.
Returning to the hotel I walked across the footbridge
and to the E and walked back along the road
