Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flora of Singapore The ora geographically speaking is typically Malayan, and resembles as might be expected that of Johore, and to a certain extent that of the neighbouring coast of Sumatra. A few plants occurring here are as far as is known endemic, but it is probable that most will be re-discovered in the neighbouring countries. When they are more thoroughly explored. These endemic plants not known to occur elsewhere are marked with a *5. The absence of certain plants common in the peninsula is some what remarkable, such are Eat-ya arumz'nam and Grewz'a umbel' lata, and there are several striking plants to be found on the neighbouring islands, and on the coast of Johore, especially near Tanjong Kupang, which are quite absent from our ora. Of the native ora it will be noticed that the greater number of plants are either trees or shrubs, herbaceous plants being comparative ly scarce in the forests. And chie y to be found in the open country in the sandy district of the coast. Those of the forest region being usually epiphytes, orchids, Piperaceae, or Scita mineae, aroids, grasses and sedges, with a few saprophytes.

Book Synopsis Notes from an Even Smaller Island: 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Print of a Singapore cult classic by : Neil Humphreys
Download or read book Notes from an Even Smaller Island: 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Print of a Singapore cult classic written by Neil Humphreys and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing nothing of Singapore in the 1990s, a young Englishman, Neil Humphreys, arrives in the land of “air-conned” shopping centres and Lee Kuan Yew. From the aunties in the hawker centres to expats dressed as bananas, from Singlish to kiasuism, and from Singaporeans at home to Singaporeans abroad, Humphreys explores all aspects of Singaporean life, taking in the sights, dissecting the culture and illuminating each place and person with his perceptive and witty observations. Written by someone who is at once both insider and outsider, the book is a wonderfully funny and disarmingly honest portrait of Singapore and its people. That was the original synopsis. And a cult classic was born. First published in 2001, Notes from an Even Smaller Island became an extraordinary success, selling tens of thousands of copies. It popped up on the national bestseller several times over the years and launched Neil’s stellar writing career. This 20th anniversary edition contains new material; Neil has gone back and re-evaluated his first book, looking at what he got right, what he definitely got wrong and updating readers on key characters, stories and crazy incidents. He also includes never-previously published photos to prove – once and for all – that every word of his irreverent work was true.
