Sundew found in Malaysia! (part 2)
After visited the habitat of Drosera burmannii in Kuching, I knew that I have to look for sandy and sunny spot if I want to see D. burmannii in Peninsular Malaysia. But, where can I find this kind of habitat in Peninsular Malaysia? According to some very old records, D. burmanii was found in Kedah, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor. I used to stay in Johor for almost 2 years. I met quite a few of Nepenthes and Utricularia but never met a Drosera in Johor. As for Kedah, many places already converted into paddy field. The chance to see sundew in Kedah is very slim. So, Terengganu and Pahang might be the good place to explore. In last few years, I did go to Terengganu for fish sampling. I can see quite a few promising spots but always got no chance to stop.
Last week, Robert and I were going south for Betta and Nepenthes searching. I want to search for new location of Betta stigmosa before going down to Johor. We decided to go across Tasik Kenyir to Kuala Terengganu from Gua Musang.
It's a long and winding road!
