I cross the mid upper ridges between east palm gulch and west palm
gulch and, after climbing to Neeale Rock retrace my route east via
the lower slopes back to the camp area.
The rare endemic palm Pritchardia remota was collected from east
palm gulch. Cytological material was alos obtained. A count was taken
of all existing plants of this rare species.
