44_14 Lebanon Mts. to Tripoli, Syria. 25 to 40 ft. high. -No. 11,516. Eryngium ereticum L. Low foothills. See p. 15. -No. 11,517. Bupleurum nodiflorum. See p. 15. With 11,516 -It is a most unusual and interesting ride from Becharre to Tripoli. A short distance from Becharre we come suddenly upon a great lateral gorge to the Kadisha. On its opposite rim a village is pleasantly perched (f. spool no. 2, photo no. 5) (see p. 9). We go down by a very winding road and come at last to a densely wooded steep slope of a mountain (f. no. 11,514) which shows its face to the plain below. Just beyond this we run around a prominent high point on the tip of which a church is vey conspicuous. |
44_15 May 9, 1926 We wind on down by one of the most winding roads I ever traveled; and then run through the low valleys of the coastal plain, with streams of running water and oleanders along their banks. All along the road from Becharre, expecially at the higher levels, there are roaring streams and streamlets everywhere and in one place we see a considerable stream burst full-blown from a mountainside, from a group of springs right before our eyes. In the valleys and hills of the lower levels. I collect: 11,513, 11,516, 11,517, 11,511, 11,510. |
