Abstract
Liberia is a forested country and a large proportion of it is covered with what is popularly known as jungle. This is the region of abundant rainfall and the forests are evergreen. The term 'evergreen' refers to the fact that the forest appears in full leaf the year round and does not signify conifers, for in all the country there is not a Pine or Fir or Hemlock or Cedar, such as constitute the evergreen forests of the North. The West African forests are composed of broadleaf trees and palms.
