We walked further down the stream & we found the BIGGEST population of Cryptocoryne crispatula var. crispatula (another location)!!!

My fishing trip in China (Year 2008) - part 3

April 5, 2008. On the third day, we hired a local kid to be our guide to climb the mountain at the village where we took our lunch. Half an hour later, 3 of us decided to stop climbing as there is no big tree or stream along the trail. We could not find any interesting flora & fauna in this type of forest, so we went to visit a waterfall next to a Chinese temple. There, we found the carnivorous plant of China .....the sundew!


Sundew (most probably Drosera spathulata)

Mucuna birdwoodiana

Beetle

Larvae of a kind of beetle
