In Plain Sight
Where in the world could millions of 20-foot-tall trees flourish across an area larger than Delaware without scientists noticing them? In remote and war-torn hills between Ethiopia and Somalia.

More than 2,000 new species of flowering plants are described worldwide each year, but few are this conspicuous and widespread.
