Description

Near summits, collected in Aug 2012, taken from Cinnamon tree, stuck on leave. In  this case, the scarring actually caused the bulowi to have a unique texture and colour. This species is found on Mt Singalah where is it already a commercial area for cultivation and not only birds but pigs and other farm animal eat them while they can and it has a hard life. Very very rare now, not seen for the past few years now.
