Notes on the flora of Gunong Jerai (Kedah Peak)

Note
Location Peninsula Subject Distribution Species Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)

Existence of tapir, confused with rhino. [Ridley 1893 mentions turf ploughed up by rhino.] Near the summit at about 3800 ft, we discovered a large grassy area lightly wooded with xerophytic vegetation, which was torn up in just the manner ridley described. This was umistakably done by tapirs, which is probably what Ridley meant rather than rhinoceros.
