Simien Mountains National Park
The vegetation is mixed with African alpine forests, wilderness forests and alpine vegetation. High altitude areas include montane savannah and tree heath (Erica arborea), giant lobelia (Lobelia rhynchopetalum), yellow primrose (Primula verticillata), everlastings (Helichrysum spp.), a lady's mantle (Alchemilla spp.), and a moss (Grimmiaceae spp.). Lichen covers the trees of the alpine area. Vegetation throughout the park is divided into three sections, montane forest (1900–3000m), ericaceous belt or subafroalpine (2700–3700m) and the afroalpine (3700–5433m). Within the montane forest there are juniper trees (Juniperus procera), African redwood (Hagenia abyssinica), African olive (Olea africana), fig (Ficus spp), and waterberry (Syzygium guineense). There are also many varieties of shrubs including cocona (Solanum sessilistellatum), Abyssinian rose (Rosa abyssinica), cowslip (Primula verticillata), and stinging nettle (Urtica spp.). The ridges and canyons have scattered meadows, forests and bushes. At one time, the St. John's wort (Hypericum spp.) Forests grew from 3,000 to 3,800 m above sea level, but are now almost gone.
