How the clue works
Look at Experts in botany, say as the definition, since naturalists take in specialists like botanists. For the wordplay, "are" gives A (the metric unit of area) and "left" gives L, so together they make AL. That AL is "enthralled by", meaning tucked inside, NATURISTS (the "uncovered figures"), slotted in after the R to give NATUR-AL-ISTS.
