that country. This Central African region jjresupposes an average altitude 

 of 3,500 feet in the equatorial regions of Uganda. It is characterised by 

 abundant vegetation, a great deal of grass, many si)ecies of herbaceous plants, 

 rich forest in river valleys: in general, a transition between the poorer 

 East African flora and the forest region of West Africa. This well-vegetated 

 region is remarkable for its brilliantly coloured flowers, especially in the 

 interior parts of Kavirondo, Busoga, Uganda, Unyoro, Toro, and Ankole, 

 between 4,000 and 6,000 feet in altitude.
