In tree jungle no flowers are to be found, or at any rate they are not visible.

But if one can by some means attain an elevation and so be able to overlook the tree-tops, he will probably be rewarded with a wonderful display, as many jungle trees are glorified with crowns of gorgeous colours.

There will he also discover the honey-suckers, moths, butterflies, the beetles, and all the other insect brood which he had also vainly looked for before.

The fruits are likewise borne aloft, and therefore at the proper time these tree-tops will be the haunt of the monkeys, the parrots, the bats, the toucans, and all frugivorous creation.
Of all fruits the durian is the most delicious.

Such is the universal opinion of men, including A.R.Wallace, who have had the opportunity of becoming familiar with it.
