The botanical names, common names and brief descriptions of some of the plants found in the garden at Rimbun Dahan are listed below in alphabetical order by family name.

Many thanks to Lim Chung Lu from FRIM Herbarium who helpfully updated us on plant taxonomy in January 2009. We are following the plant taxonomy on the website WFO Plant List.

We try to keep this list accurate, but plants die and new species arrive, so please email Angela Hijjas at angela@rimbundahan.org with questions or comments about the plant lists.
