There are three very good reasons to reprint the Mountain Flora both in English and in the Indonesian language.
- First of all there is the importance of this flora for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of the vulnerable mountain ecosystems of Java.
- Secondly, the unique style and quality of the 456 plant portraits by Amir Hamzah and Moehamad Toha.
- Thirdly there is the science, explaining and interpreting the rich botanical diversity in the mountains of Java.
Although written over 40 years ago Van Steenis' approach to the study of botany can still serve as an example and inspiration for young botanists, conservationists and policy makers.
