One of the most beautiful reptiles is the green tree python ,a harmless creature with jewel like markings. there are altogether some 2,700 species of orchids found in Irian jaya, 600 species that are medicinal importance and over 124 endemic genera.

The lush vegetation of Irian jaya is in fast a deceptive cover over poor soils badly leached by heavy rains and containing no rich volcanic material. Mangroves and nipa palm ensnare the brackish estuaries of the coast.
