Very varying in length; forming more or less dense, wide and pendulous tufts at the ends 

 of the branches of trees. Not found in the immediate vicinity of the sea. Very common higher 

 up the mountain, especially at an altitude of from 300 m. to 1600 m.; likely to occur still higher, 

 perhaps almost to the superior limit of the forest (2000 m.). Very often met with in the deep 

 excavated river-beds and not rare in the typical primeval forest. Common in the higher parts of 

 the Baimpi Mountain, not seldom fertile.
