If you are interested, pls click in link below.<br /><br />https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abstract/20103199610<br /><br />In terms of the Chinese Fairy, I agree with Tim, the image of Chinese fairy is flawless and fascinating, and not sinister. The size and figure of a Chinese fairy is like of human being. In Chinese culture, fairy usually lives in heaven, but often come to the world to help destitute people. Maybe she lived near the botanical gardens for a while according to some ancient stories. <br /><br />JimmyJimmy Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054643244460783155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523231273885627613.post-72463568675596760662017-08-11T07:17:24.943+10:002017-08-11T07:17:24.943+10:00Brilliant!

(I picked up a slight error in my text - a reference to C. debaoensis being above was actually below - when looking for this picture, so it was useful to revisit the post!).
