12 existing species accounts name this island or island group. This index shows the current sourced collection, not a complete island checklist.

Lesser Sundas · Regional landscape

Place the record in context.

Komodo National Park, between Sumbawa and Flores, offers a documented example of dry grassland and savanna alongside monsoon forest. It illustrates a different setting from the rainforests of western Indonesia.

This describes the wider region. Local vegetation and the habitat of an individual species require their own evidence.

The wider region

Lesser Sundas

The Indonesian Lesser Sunda islands east of Bali. Timor-Leste is outside this country chapter.
