ILLUSTRATIONS 
Plate XVII 
Fig. 1. A view in the forest near the top of Mount Banahao. The prom- 
inent trees are Podocarpus imbricatus. Note the slant of the 
trees. Some epiphytes are seen on the trunks but they are much 
less prominent than is usual on mountain tops in the Philippines. 
2. Another view in the forest near the top of Mount Banahao. The 
large trees are Podoco.rpus imbricatus. The undergrowth appears 
denser than it really is, due to the fact that the picture was 
taken on a foggy day and that the perspective is poor.
