Before going home for Christmas, I was over night in jungle cabin at countryside and found this masked palm civet cat on the forest canopy near Kuching.

Climbing limestone cliff (Dec.2015)

Begonia andersonii

Artocarpus sp. (related to Nangka fruit) from limestone forest. 

Begonia punchak

Begonia corrugata

Cryptocoryne striolata "brown"

Rhinocochlis nasuta (green snail) 

Cryptocoryne striolata "apple green" from freshwater swamp at limestone outcrop.

I always confuse of Begonia serapatensis and Begonia punchak cos both species are from limestone hills near my home....and they looks a bit similar to each others. Only the flower can tell the difference. This one is B. punchak.



Artocarpus sp. (related to Nangka fruit) from limestone forest. The fruit looks like a bee hive. Cute ya?

First time found Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi (orchid) grows at the base of the tree trunk.....on the top part of limestone cliff.
