Rediscovering Haiti’s lost magnolias

The northern Haiti magnolia known for its bright white flowers and delicate fragrance hasn’t been spotted since 1925. In fact, no one had ever even snapped a photo of it. Then in June, a team of naturalists trekked to Haiti’s longest mountain range, the Massif du Nord, to try to find the elusive flower. Expedition leader Eladio Fernandez describes the journey to The World’s Marco Werman.
