Moon Flower and Gorilla Heist in Dark African Forest
A European naturalist chronicles a perilous expedition into the inner land forest in search of a legendary moon flower. He treks with armed followers and a wary guide, locates the rare bloom on a tree guarded by a colossal gorilla, wrestles it free, but the creature seizes the flower and devours it. He returns to Tulamba exhausted, with the moon flower now extinct in Kaw.
