I read Green Mansions when I was a teenager, and have not read it since, so cannot vouch for it now. But, a hopeless romantic, I fell in love with Rima, and have never let go of her. And, boy, does he know how to create the jungle scene. I read The Purple Land after that, but was disappointed. W.H. (William Henry) is both a naturalist (primarily) and a writer. Green Manions is his one great novel.
