Guise, Reginald E.

(Source: Flora Malesiana ser. 1, 1: Cyclopaedia of collectors)

career:

An officer of the Government service of British New Guinea. In 1891 he accompanied M.H. Moreton (Leader)¹ and A. Gibb Maitland (geologist)² on an expedition to Mt Suckling, as collector of plants and birds. Leader of an expedition to Mt Dayman in 1894 (cf. sub Armit).

Collecting localities:

1891. SE. New Guinea, Papua. Expedition to Mt Suckling: landed at Phillips Harbour, Collingwood Bay (July 16); reached an elevation of 7733 ft at ‘Disappointment Rock’, beyond which further progress was found impracticable; returned to starting place (Aug. 5). It seems certain that this expedition was not on Mt Suckling at all, but on a spur of the Goropu Mts, N to NE of Mt Suckling.

collections:

The report states: ‘The plants met with were, until we reached an altitude of 6,500 feet, uninteresting. A few have been brought down’.¹
