The Land of Dragon’s Blood and Elephant Plants

Here's a story that I read:




Socotra is an island in the Indian Ocean, 150 miles off the Horn of Africa and 240 miles south of the Arabian Peninsula.    Roughly 40,000 people live there, but the plant life is a lot more interesting.   Roughly one third (!) of the flora and fauna species on Socotra are unique to the island.
