  • Mount Kinabalu-Abotanist'sview Rhododendron Volume 35,No.2,Spring1981 Dr
    Mount Kinabalu - a Botanist's View Dr. L. K. Wade from the Journal of the American Rhododendron Society Volume 35, No.2, Spring 1981 Ever since a mid-1960's fifteen month sojourn at 11,600 in the Pindaunde Valley of New Guinea's 14,793' Mt. Wilhelm, I have cherished am ambition to visit Borneo's Mt. Kinabalu, at 13,455' the highest mountain between New Guinea and the Himalayas. The two great peaks have much in common, their height and great physical mass, their locations on very large tropical islands near or on the equator, their almost unbelievably rich floras, in both cases derived from both Asian and Australian origins, and of perhaps greatest interest here, their rhododendron floras. Although the islands Borneo and New Guinea are separated by about 800 miles of island-studded sea, both are part of the botanical province of Malesia, which consists, in contrast to the political entity of Malaysia, the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, and New Guinea with its associated islands. Perhaps nowhere else on earth does such a mixture of www.vireya.net plant genera of northern temperate, southern temperate, and tropical affinities occur as on the high mountains of this great botanical province, making these mountains objects of unequalled biogeographical interest. One of the prominent genera of distinctly Asian origin found in the mountains throughout Malesia is of course Rhododendron, which, according to Sleumer, numbers in this region some 280 species. All but five of these belong to the lepidote section Vireya, which interestingly enough has only two species outside Malesia.

  • An Early History of Vireya the People, Places & Plants of the Nineteenth Century
    An Early History of Vireya The People, Places & Plants of the Nineteenth Century Chris Callard The distribution of Rhododendron subgenus Vireya is centred on the botanical region known as Malesia – an area of south-east Asia encompassing the Malay Archipelago, the Philippines, Borneo, Indonesia and New Guinea and surrounding island groups. It is for this reason that vireyas have sometimes in the past been referred to as ‘Malesian Rhododendrons’, although nowadays this is not considered a strictly accurate term as a small number of the 318 species in subgenus Vireya grow outside this region and, similarly, a few species from other subgenera of Rhododendron are also to be found within its boundaries. Broadly speaking, the Vireya group extends from Taiwan in the north to Queensland, Australia in the south, and from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east. Much of the early recorded history of the plants of Rhododendron subgenus Vireya came about as a result of the activities of European nations, particularly Britain and Holland, pursuing their colonial ambitions across the Malay Archipelago and, later, east to New Guinea. As their Empires expanded into these previously unexplored territories, settlements were established and expeditions mounted to survey the natural wealth and geography of the land. Many of these early explorers had scientific backgrounds, although not always in botany, and collected all manner of exotic flora and fauna found in these unfamiliar surroundings, to ship back to their homelands. The Vireya story starts in June 1821 when the Scotsman, William Jack, one of “a party of gentlemen”i, set out from Bencoolen (now Bengkulu), a settlement on the south-west coast of Sumatra, to reach the summit of Gunong Benko (Bungkuk), the so-called Sugar Loaf Mountain, “not estimated to exceed 3,000 feet in height”.

  • The 2Nd Marquis of Rockingham's Properties in 1776
    THE 2ND MARQUIS OF ROCKINGHAM’S PROPERTIES IN 1776 Stephen Cooper In the 18th century the owners of Wentworth Woodhouse were noblemen. It was a pre-democratic age, when the aristocracy (along with the gentry) still enjoyed enormous wealth and exercised enormous power. The 2nd Marquis of Rockingham (1730-1782) was one of the richest men in Britain, and was Prime Minister twice, though briefly. He owned a large estate in what we now call South Yorkshire, and an even larger one in County Wicklow in Ireland. He sat in the House of Lords, controlled two ‘pocket boroughs’ and influenced elections in dozens of constituencies in the House of Commons, was Lord Lieutenant in his home County of Yorkshire, and controlled the militia there. He also owned or leased several houses apart from Wentworth House (as he called it). My curiosity was aroused when I happened to read the account of a trial in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, 1674-1913. On 30 August 1786 one John Brown was indicted for ‘feloniously stealing a black gelding, price £14, the property of John Sharman of Girton near Ryegate in Surrey. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was William Bruce, who was a shoe-maker and boot-maker at Lambeth-Marsh, next door to the Queen’s Head. He said that the accused rented ‘one pair of stairs’ in Sharman’s house, which consisted of three rooms in all. When asked what sort of man Brown was, Sharman replied: He told me when he came to lodge with me, he was a gentleman’s servant, and I having [sic] been a gentleman’s servant myself; I lived with the Marquis of Rockingham about ten years ago;1 and at Wimbledon I lived with him seven years; I was footman to my Lady:2 I went down to Wentworth with him, and to Little Harriden [sic]; that was the very time when they left that house on Parson’s Green, before they went to Mr Rush’s House at Wimbledon.

  • From Po-Li to Rajah Brooke: Culture, Power and the Contest for Sarawak
    From Po-li to Rajah Brooke: Culture, Power and the Contest for Sarawak John Henry Walker International and Political Studies,University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia *Corresponding author Email address: [email protected]. ABSTRACT This article explores Sarawak’s remoter past from the emergence of an early Indianised state at Santubong until the accession as Rajah of Sarawak of James Brooke. Through an analysis of Sarawak Malay oral histories, the Negara-Kertagama, Selsilah Raja Raja Sambas and the Selsilah Raja RajaBerunai, the article confirms and extends IbLarsens’s findings, that extensive periods of Sambas’s rule over Sarawak has been overlooked by successive scholars. The article also explores the ways in which Malay oral and traditional histories can be used in western historiographic traditions to illuminate the remoter past. Keywords:Indianisation, Sarawak, Sambas, Brunei, DatuMerpati, Sultan Tengah Prior to the expansion of its meaning in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term ‘Sarawak’ referred to a negri(country) which encompassed the Sarawak and Lundu River basins, and the coast and adjacent islands between the mouths of the Sarawak and Lundu Rivers, an area known in the scholarly literature as ‘Sarawak Proper’, to distinguish it from the more expansive Sarawak which we know today.1 AlthoughSarawak achieved its present boundaries only with the transfer of Lawas from the British North Borneo Company in January 1905,2 it has a long and contested, if intermittently documented, history. In 2012, Ib Larsen suggested that large parts of present day Sarawak had been ruled for significant periods of time by Sambas rather than by Brunei.

  • Hazelwood Park
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Hazelwood Park Report by Susan Kellerman and Dick Knight [June 2018] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site Hazelwood Park NB. The house known today as Hazlewood Castle, together with its historic park and estate, have undergone a number of variations in name and spelling over the last eight centuries. For the purposes of this report on the designed landscape, Hazelwood Park has been adopted, in line with the Historic Environment Record. Direct contemporary references will remain as in the original. 1.2 Grid reference SE4488339770 1.3 Administrative area Selby District of North Yorkshire (current), West Riding of Yorkshire (historic) Parish: Stutton with Hazlewood; Leeds 1.4 Current site designation Not on the Historic England Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Hazelwood was the seat of the Vavasour family for over 800 years, from the time of Domesday until the estate was put up for sale in 1907 (Figures 1, 2). At that time, the estate of 3806 acres (1540.234 hectares) comprised Hazelwood Castle, St Leonard’s Chapel, gardens, parkland, woodland, farms, farmland (arable and livestock), cottages, etc. In addition to Hazelwood, the Vavasours owned manors and land across Yorkshire and in Staffordshire. Failing to find a buyer in 1907, the Castle and the reduced estate of 1065 acres was again offered for sale in 1908. Subsequent changes of ownership led to further break-up of the estate, and culminated in the Castle itself becoming a hotel in 1997.

  • Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo
    Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo John Randall (Books of Asia) [email protected] First printed edition of the finest literary work in the Malay language 1 Abdullah bin Abdulkadir, editor. Sejarah Melayu. , [Singapore]. First edition, 8vo, pp. [1]-7 (preface), [1, blank], [1, title], [2], 4-368. Malay text in Jawi (Arabic script). With Bibliotheca Lindesiana bookplate and pencil inscription: Malay Books No.3. [205244] SOLD The Sejarah Melayu, or Malay annals, (in Arabic, Sulalat al-Salatin or Genealogy of kings) was composed in the early 16th century by Tun Seri Larang, an official at the court of Sultan Mahmud Shah. It records the history of Malacca from its foundation by the Srivijayan prince Parameswara around 1400, through its rise to become the richest entrepot in southeast Asia, to the Portuguese conquest in 1511. The Sejarah Melayu is the finest literary work in the Malay language, written by Tun Seri Larang, the greatest Malay author of the classical period. They are moreover the most important Malay historical text, providing a handbook of Malay statecraft and outlining the relationship between ruler and subjects. While there are more than thirty extant manuscripts of Sejarah Melayu there are only four recorded copies of this first printed edition. Two are at the Library of Congress, one known to have been purchased for $3 in Singapore in 1842 by the United States Exploring Expedition under Wilkes, one at Leiden, and one at the National Library of Malaysia. No date of publication appears in the text. Our copy was in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, the celebrated collection built by Lord Lindsay (1812-1880), 25th Earl of Crawford, and his son James Ludovic Lindsay.

You can see 17 counties from the top of The Wrekin and to the Brecon Beacons from Brown Clee; we can’t guarantee the clear weather needed 17 counties can be seen from The Wrekin to see them though. We go to many favourite places in the Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Shropshire Hills, no matter how many times one visits these local highlights one always finds something new to delight the eye. There are many local walks too, in flatter countryside in East Shropshire and in and around Telford; areas well known and well walked by people living adjacent to them but unknown to the rest of us. Our popular ‘short and social’ walks on the first Thursday of the month will as usual provide many chances to sample the food and drink available at local hostelries and chat and get to know fellow members after walk of five miles or under.
