hi paige and dr. waddick, a few follow-up questions. where is Hengduan exactly? i assume you guys have been mostly to Sichuan, Yunnan and maybe Qinghai? i assume Hengduan is not exactly tropical? what's the altitude there? have you come across any gingers or gesneriads in china? and did anyone read that short book that jamaica kinkaid wrote of the expedition dan hinkley led to nepal? what did you think? i was mostly annoyed by it... ========= tsuh yang __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
