Hose Mountains
The Hose Mountains (Template:Lang-ms) are a mountain range in central Sarawak, Borneo. They span the area between the watersheds of the Balleh and Balui Rivers.[1] The mountains are covered in virgin tropical rainforest that supports a rich ecosystem of fauna and flora, including many endemic species. At least 8 species of Nepenthes are native to the mountain range.[1]
The Hose Mountains are named after British colonial administrator and zoologist Charles Hose.
