A digital flora of Indonesia and Malesia^*

Welcome to this site of open source biodiversity informatics
software and open data (plant taxonomic, metadata and DNA barcode
information). Our long-term goal is contribute to the
biodiversity inventory and species description of this
mega-diversity country, and beyond. Our initial data include
plant collections made in the Gunung Palung National Park
(West Kalimantan), during a Herbarium Bogoriense (LIPI) and PHKA biodiversity
inventory and informatics project, sponsored by the Arnold Arboretum.
