Abstract
Indonesia is a country of megadiversity and ranks 5th on the list of the world’s richest countries in terms of biological diversity. The rich diversity of Indonesia is evidenced by the rain forests of Lore Lindu National Park (229,177 ha), Central Sulawesi, which may contain about 150 species of trees (> 10 cm dbh) in one hectare at ca. 1000 m elevation (Kessler et al. submitted). More than 2000 species of woody plants have been recorded from Sulawesi in a recent census (Keßler et al. 2002).
