Extract

Langata Forest is a small, detached forest, 11 square miles in area, of the African plateau type, lying 5 miles west of Nairobi at an altitude of 6,000 ft. The forest is mostly secondary and although of evergreen character, much foliage is lost during the long dry seasons. The indigenous trees include olives (Olea chrysophylla), crotons (Croton megalocarpon), muhugu (Brachylaena hutchinsonii) and cape chestnut (Calodendron capense).
