BACKER, C.A. and R.C.BAKHUIZEN VAN DEN BRINK
Flora of Java (Spermato- phytes only). 3 vols.1963-1968.(Reprint 1994).2050 p.
The work supersedes and surpasses in quality all other works everwritten on the Flora of Java and ranks very high among tropical Floras.As Java harbours more wide-spread tropical species than any otherMalesian island, this Flora is indispensable for the entire Indo-Australian region, from Bombay to Brisbane. Backer included all weeds,aliens and naturalized plants, species introduced for shed or greenmanure and besides a very large number of cultivated species. Ofgreatest use is the elaborate general key by which any fertile plant canbe identified as to family; within the families further keys lead to thegenus and species.
