Number of melliferous plants and important literature
Ethiopia: The most important melliferous plants are well documented. Fichtl & Adi (1994) described over 500 species of melliferous plants among Ethiopia (400 herbs/shrubs and 100 trees)[1]. Another important book by Admasu et al. describes nearly 400 important species [2]. Abera (2017) also describes important plants for the south-eastern region of Ethiopia [3].
Indonesia: So far, there is no literature available on important melliferous plants in Indonesia!
