Weeds are mainly Blady Grass (Imperata) on hillside, with scattered acacias, and Hard Milkwood (Alstonia muelleriana) regrowth. Old cultivation in foreground. Same as Image 10-98, but different camera angle, showing more tree regrowth on footslope. Greater soil fertility and moisture of alluvium/colluvium on flat is more productive - note green grass and grazing cows (middle left in picture).
