>>I'm telling you, Rob, you're making a mistake by not ordering that mag.
>>It is filled with absolutely gorgeous photos, page after page. It shows

You're thinking of Nature Malaysiana, which I don't know of a
source for anymore. The booklet I was referring two has only
line *drawings*, no photos. It was advertised in a recent CPN.
I think Don has a copy.

>>neat details of natural history, such as a _Nepenthes_ clinging to the
>>side of a tree with all leaves as it climbs straight up. Very good book,
>>well worth it! And in three months (or whatever) it would be yours...
>>I bought my copies (one for a friend) by sending cash through the mail.
>>Well worth the purchase. Matthew Jebb's article on New Guinea _Nepenthes_
>>is also worth the bucks, although it isn't as gloriously illustrated.

What is the address for the photo magazine?

>>Hey, don't you get irritated when time after time, nature documentaries
>>talk at length about mammals, reptiles, birds, and invertebrates, but almost
>>invariably gloss over plants? Oh, there might be a passing reference like,
>>"The trees of the jungle are covered with mosses and epiphytes, which make
>>perfect homes for the blue-toed wanga-bird" , or, "With the seasonal rains,
>>many fascinating plants emerge from dormancy---such greenery makes excellent
>>forage for the short-haired calico dung-wallaby". It exasperates me,

I can tell Barry, I can tell :-) :-)
