It is believed that Socotra got its name from Sanskrit, meaning “Island of Bliss.” Others suggest the name was derived from Arabic and means “dripping frankincense.” It may be a bit of both, currently unspoiled by man, but most people know of Socotra as being “the most alien-looking place on Earth.” It’s like a whole another world, like a different dimension。

It lies in the north-western corner of the Western Indian Ocean, at the junction between the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, belong to part of the Republic of Yemen. D6 G' E* g5 G A1 G0 d: ]

Socotra has been tectonically isolated from Africa and Arabia for the past 18 million years, with its fierce heat and drought have combined to create a unique and spectacular endemic flora. Huge number of flora and fauna on Socotra are endemic, i.e., they are found nowhere else on Earth: 37% of Socotra’s 825 plant species, 90% of its reptile species and 95% of its land snail species. The island was recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a world natural heritage site in July 2008.

The tree is so named because any possible injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid that excretes from the scar.

The tree can live to 5000 or 6000 years old. Its red sap was thought to be the dragon’s blood of the ancients, sought after as a medicine and a dye, also inscribe as magical seals and talismans. Some scientists blame a lack of water caused by a decrease in seasonal cloud cover—and predict that many stands could disappear within a century.

Another famous plant species is Desert Rose (Adenium Obesum) which blooming in spring with a flush of pink flowers, they apparently do not require soil, always magically growing from cliffs and rock-faces, sinking their roots straight into bare rock.
