Padang Wahid : Revisited Oct 27, 2007 10:25:46 GMT 8

Post by lisham on Oct 27, 2007 10:25:46 GMT 8

My friend and I went to Padang Wahid yesterday... Here are the pictorial result. Enjoy...

The Flowers

Kamunting Flower + Fruit

Furry White Flower

Pink/Purple Flower

Sea Morning Glory aka Camel-foot

The Fungi/Mushroom

The Orchid?

The Water Plants

The CPs

Bladderwort

N. mirabillis

Another Nep species added to (the unofficial) Langkawi Nep species list.

After hours of looking for other species (scroll down to know what species la), I found this clumps of nep looking a bit different than the usual (red splotches, big leaves, pitcher with wide peristome) N. mirabillis. It's smaller (but still big, compared to the one I'm growing), base of leaves sticking to stem, thin peristome, etc.

Now the best part... It's confirmed that we have (drumroll music) N. gracillis growing along-side N. mirabillis. Sadly the explorer (that's me and my friend wont even make it to the list, as he just sit in the car and wait!) is not able to identify hybrid of N. mirabillis with N. gracillis, so I can't say for sure if a hybrid exists.

Long story short... Pix!

New pix added! Photobucket is up and running again...

N. gracillis blooming.

Reddish N. gracillis

Big N. gracillis pitcher (I never seen one this big, is this the right size?)

p/s: the "other" species that I'm trying to find are D. burmannii and D. indica.

Make sure you guys/gals have insurred your back if you want to look for Drosera species in the wild. It's back-breaking becos of the excessive bending down.

It hurts!

p/s again: No D. burmannii nor N. indica found in this trip. More pix coming soon. Photobucket is not co-operating since yesterday.

I certainly do enjoy them. Many thanks! One curiousity though, as I believe it's a wetland. Don't you become a feast for mosquitos?

Welcome!

It's more like a field where the natives feed their cow, the "lake" is actually sand mines.

No mosquitoes, I wore my shorts and black shirt... Not even a mosquito lbite. Maybe i'm not appetizing enough... The secret- Dont shower before going CP hunting. Oppsss... I did it again... muahahaha...

Heath forest had very porous and well drain soil and is not a good breeding ground for mosquitoes. Another place where mosquitoes doesn't breed are Limestone hills.

Erk, I dono ler... They seems to grow happily sprouting babies on runner. They're not attached to the bottom, just floating freely on water surface... Are they rare?

I'm more interested in the red water plant before the indica pictures. Looks like red stellata from far. Lim, you know what's that?

They are found in ponds and marshlands, very invasive. Isaac, i don't see any red plant !

Is it the same as bifurcatum's pictures of bladderwort behind his unty's house? So cool! Lisham, do they just float or do they have stems growing into the soil under the water?

I am not sure about the red plant. But I saw some Eriocaulon sp.. I wonder if there got any nice dwarf Eriocaulon. Must go to Langkawi and check out.

Please update your field trip if you ever go there. I would like to know more about aquatic plants in msia too. Near bkt kledang also got drawf eriocaulon, I've given some to YT last time to try. Can grow submersed but not as nice as cinereum.

Wait for Lim to verify as well. First picture is from the erio. family.
