Note 144 — V
Philip Askell Benton translation
In certain favourable places in Abyssinia, which is in about the same latitude as Bornu, Heuglin often met with a profusion of epiphytic orchids, the most characteristic plant of damp tropical regions. In Bornu one would seek such things in vain; they are not to be found even along the water-courses. Heuglin, Reise nach Abessinien, pp. 386 and 397.
