The
History of Jakarta dates back from around 500 years ago in a
small part of the downstream of Ciliwung River. During centuries
later, the city port grew into a bustling international trade
center. The story of Jakarta at the earlier phase emanates from
the diverse ancient inscriptions found in the nearby port. The
untold stories of Jakarta up until the earlier arrival of European
colonialists were very scarce. |
 |
European
writers reported that at early 16 century Kelapa was the port's
name of a Hindus Kingdom called Sunda with Pajajaran as its
capital city. It was located around 40 kilometers near the city
of Bogor nowadays. |
Portugal was the first biggest group of Europeans coming to Kelapa Port. The City was then under assault by mob led by a young man named Fatahillah from a given kingdom near Kelapa. Afterwards on June 22, 1527 Fatahillah changed the name of Sunda Kelapa into Jayakarta. Hence, the date is commemorated as the date of birth of the City Jakarta. The Dutch came by the end of the 16 centuries and took control of Jayakarta.
 |
The
name Jayakarta was then changed into Batavia. The geographical
condition of the city Batavia was more or less the same as that
of the Netherlands their native soil. They built canals in anticipation
of the floods inundation. The central of the city administration
was concentrated around a field located 500 meters from the
port. They also built a beautiful city municipality, which was
also the central of the Batavia city administration. In the
long run the city Batavia developed southward. The rapid growth
of the city contributed the environmental damages so that the
Dutch colonialist forced to move its central administration
into higher lands. Later, the spot was named as Weltevreden.

NELUMBO
NUCIFERA - LOTUS
Nelumbo is a genus of aquatic plants with large, showy, water lily-like
flowers commonly known as lotus or sacred lotus. The generic name
is derived from the Sinhalese word Nelum. There are two species in
the genus, the better known of which, N. nucifera, or "Sacred
Lotus," is the well-known National Flower of India. There is
residual disagreement over
which family the genus should be placed in. Traditional classification
systems recognized Nelumbo as part of the Nymphaeaceae (water lily)
family, but traditional taxonomists were likely misled by evolutionary
convergences associated with an evolutionary shift from a terrestrial
to an aquatic life style. In the older classification systems it was
recognized under the order Nymphaeales or Nelumbonales. Nelumbo is
currently recognized as its own family, Nelumbonaceae, as one of several
distinctive families in the eudicot order Proteales. Its closest living
relatives are shrubs or trees (Proteaceae and Platanaceae)
