Anaphalis javanica, the Javanese edelweiss, is a species of flowering plant native to Indonesia. It is found mostly in mountainous regions of Java, southern Sumatra, southern Sulawesi and Lombok. Although a mature plant can reach eight metres in height, most specimens are less than a metre tall. It is a pioneer in recent volcanic land. The flowers are generally seen between April and August. A bird species, the Javan whistling thrush (Myophonus glaucinus), nests in the plant's branches.
