ECONOMIC PLANTS OF INDONESIA

This booklet deals with 728, mostly Javanese, useful plants. The authors had to make a choice from the circa 6000 useful plant species of Indonesia. 

Besides of Javanese plants with their Sundanese (West Java) and Javanese (Central Java) names, also Indonesian names are enumerated, these are either Javanese or Sundanese adapted names or names of other parts of  Indonesia, adapted and incorporated in the Indonesian language. 

The cholce of specles is entirely the responsibility of the authors. Thelr main aim has been to create an easy tool to identify the most common Indonesian useful plants, Including also commonly cultlvated alien species. 

A small reference list will guide the more interested user to more complete information.
