In Indonesia, this Euphorbia Ferns known as studs.

E. milii have a genetic trait that is not stable because they have some control properties chromosomes. From the same parent will produce many varieties of new varieties. Purification descent takes to get a Relatively stable trait, both in terms of morphology, productivity, and resistance to pests and disease.

Although able to grow tropical and Subtropical Region, preferring E.milii hot temperatures and full exposure, resulting in less advanced developing countries subtropical. Nordic, E. Milii classified in poisonous plants (poisson plant), because the milk sap (exudate) from the plant if the blood coagulation can to spur abnormal cell growth

It is said that there are hundreds of species of plants that have not been able Pachypodium identified and classified.

Meanwhile only around 25 species are widely known in the world. In Indonesia, new to this crop in the era of the 1990s, the cultivated species is still limited (approximately less than 15 species that can be found in Indonesia) because of the suitability requirements grow or hindered the problem of protection imposed by country of origin (Madagascar), or other countries in Africa there so plant species of Pachypodium Although very interesting ornamental plant lovers in Indonesia because of the thorny cols and leaf shapes and beautiful flowers.

Beauty Flower Eidelweis

Eidelweis flowers are plants that are common in mountainous regions. He can only grow in the highlands. Edelweis a Latin name, which is Anaphalis javanica. This plant can be reached a height of 8 m and has a trunk of the human foot.Currently, the plant has become rare plants eidelweis because he was often picked or taken by mountain climbers who are interested in the beauty of flowers. Eidelweis interest rate is also called eternal because after picking a withered. Eidelweis not eidelweis pioneer plant for young volcanic soil in the mountains and forests can maintain the continuity of life in a Barren Land, being able to form arbuscular with certain soil fungi that effectively extend the area reached by The Roots and increase efficiency in the search for Nutrients. The flowers are favored by insects, more than 300 kinds of insects such as fleas, tirip, butterflies, flies, wasps and bees seen visiting. If this plant branches allowed to grow strong enough, can be edelweis nesting place for birds Javan Whistling Thrush (Myophonus glaucinus).

Edelweis parts are often picked and brought down from the mountain for aesthetic reasons and spiritual, or just a memento by the climbers. In February until October 1988, there were 636 recorded trunk has been taken from Mount Gede-Pangrango. Within certain limits, and all just small pieces that are picked, this pressure can be faced. Unfortunately greed and the expectations that one has sacrificed many populations, especially populations located on the paths.

Research has been done shows that edelweis can be propagated easily by cutting the branches. Therefore, the pieces may be sold to visitors to reduce the interest rate decision eidelweis found in the mountains.

Rare Plants Stolen From Kelimutuensis Begonia
