(Crocodylus novaeguineae) and saltwater crocodile (C. porosus).
Valuable biodiversity and amazing National Park Wasur, causing this area better known as
"Serengiti Papua".
Wetlands in this national park is the most productive ecosystems in providing food and protection
materials for the life of various types of fish, shrimp and crabs that have high economic value.
Various types of wildlife such as migratory birds, wallabies and cassowaries often come and
inhabit the Blue Marsh Lake. Therefore, the Blue Marsh Lake is called "Motherland" because the

Regions with an area of 87 hectares has been
established since 1817 on the initiative of Sir
Stamford Raffles, a British national who
served as governor of Java. The trees in this
area hundreds of years old. So not
surprisingly, the trees here have a big trunk
and reach tens of meters high. In each tree,
which contains the label attached to a tree
and when trees began to be planted. So, in
addition to travel, we can also know the trees
that we may not know existed.
A large tree in the Botanic Garden is making
the air cool and rich in oxygen. There are
more than 17,000 species, including species of
rare orchids. The trees are here not only from
domestic bersal but many also come from
abroad. Which is always interesting to watch
is the development of carrion flower (Rafflesia
arnoldi). This flower is unique because the
large size and when the bloom will remove
the stench that was named the dead flowers.

Giant Rafflesia (Rafflesia arnoldii) are obligate parasites of plants
known for having very large flowers, even the largest flower in the

on the island of Sumatra, especially the southern part (Bengkulu,
Jambi and South Sumatra). Kerinci Seblat National Park is the main
conservation area of this species. These types, together with members
of the genus Rafflesia others, threatened status due to massive
deforestation. On the island of Java to grow only one type of parasite
patma, Rafflesia patma.
Interest is not rooted parasites, leafless, and not stemmed. The
diameter of the flower when in full bloom can reach 1 meter with a
weight of about 11 kilograms. Flower suck inorganic and organic
elements of the host plant Tetrastigma. The only part that could be
called a "plant" is a network that grows on vines Tetrastigma.
Flowers have five petals that surround the mouth that looks like a
barrel. On the basis of such interest is spiked disc, containing the
stamens or pistils depending on the sex of flowers, male or female.
Animal pollinators are flies attracted by the stench of interest
incurred. Interest only was about one week (5-7 days) and then
wither and die. Very small percentage of fertilization, because the
male flowers and female flowers bloom rarely together in one week, if
there are flies that come fertilize.

50. BLACK ORCHID
Black orchid (Coelogyne pandurata) are the only
species of orchids grow on the island of Borneo.
Black orchid flora is the mascot for the East
Kalimantan province. Today, black orchid native
habitat has decreased a significant amount due

can still be found in the nature reserve Luway
grit in very small amounts. It is estimated that
higher numbers are in the hands of collectors of
orchids.
