sarcocephali

Updated: May 9, 2025

This creek had a large sandy bed; with large Castanospermums, Tristanias, and Sarcocephali growing on its banks, which were rather steep. It had a very tortuous course, coming from south-west and turning east a little below our camp, which was in a bend of the creek. July 8. We were employed nearly all this day in cutting through very thick scrub on the other side of the creek.
