Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Over the course of five decades, the seventeenth-century naturalist
Georgius Everhardus Rumphius assiduously gathered information on
the native plants of Ambon Island and its archipelago. By
presenting descriptions of the plants and their multiple uses, he
succeeded in creating a cultural and scientific treasury of
incomparable value for today's botanists, anthropologists,
ethnobotanists, science historians, medicinal chemists, and other
scholars. This comprehensive reference, complete with over 800
original illustrations, describes in remarkable detail more than
2,000 plants, their habitats, and their economic and medicinal
uses. 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. Copublished
with the National Tropical Botanical Garden
