Gnaphalium javanicum Reinw. ex Blume
Anaphalis javanica, the Javanese edelweiss, is a species of flowering plant native to Indonesia. It is found mostly in mountainous regions of Java, southern Sumatra, southern Sulawesi and Lombok.[3] Although a mature plant can reach eight metres in height, most specimens are less than a metre tall.[4] It is a pioneer in recent volcanic land.[5] The flowers are generally seen between April and August.[3] A bird species, the Javan whistling thrush (Myophonus glaucinus), nests in the plant's branches.
Known as bunga abadi in Indonesian (lit. 'eternal flower'), senduro[5] (ꦱꦼꦤ꧀ꦝꦸꦫ sêndhurå) in Javanese or tanalayu (ꦠꦤꦭꦪꦸ, 'never wilts') among the Tenggerese,[6] this plant is popular among tourists. Dried flowers are often sold as souvenirs. This could lead to the destruction of the wild-grown species. In the Bromo-Tengger region in East Java, this plant is considered extinct. This species is constantly decreasing in number and is currently protected in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park.[7]
The plant has been protected under Indonesian law since 1990.[4]
