a. Forests cover almost entire mt. with exception 
of lowermost slopes where peasant gardens can 
be found. Huge gommier trees with buttressed 
roots and whose branches are overburdened with 
epiphytes can be seen here and there. 
b. Moisture is everywhere - beneath the humus is 
a thick sticky mud that pervades all. 
c. Tree ferns run through lower forest through 
middle to upper. 
d. Top is covered chiefly by a thick leaved shrub 
somewhat resembling Coccolobis in its leaf shape. 
e. Moss is everywhere offering substrata for ferns, 
orchids, etc. 
f. Mt. , according to Clem Dupigny is 50 ft. short 
of Trois Pitons which is 50 ft. short of Diablo- 
tin.

some spots almost have knife edges, and in sev- 
eral spots one could almost straddle^ ridge.

of large vegetation for a radius of 25 ft.
