The spring here vividly recalls the spring in England. Oaks of a noble species and magnificent foliage are flowering and the birch bursting into leaf. The violet, strawberry, maple, geranium, and bramble appear, and mosses and lichens carpet the banks and roadsides. From Kurseong we ascend through a magnificent forest of chestnut, walnut, oaks, and laurels.
Bamboos shoot up through the undergrowth to a hundred feet or more in height. The fallen trees are richly clothed with ferns typical of the hottest and dampest climates. And dendrobiums and other orchids fasten on the branches. At Kurseong there is another striking change, for the vegetation now becomes more characteristic of the temperate zone.
