Also recorded are native plant names in Malay, Latin, Dutch, and Ambonese and often in Macassarese and Chinese as well. E. M. Beekman's introduction discusses the Herbal s significance for tropical botanical literature and surveys the Indonesian economic and medicinal uses of the plants Rumphius described. Beekman also provides invaluable annotations throughout the Herbal. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780300153767. Keywords : NATURAL HISTORY, Ambon natural history Indonesia.
