Edelweiss (Anaphalis spp.) merupakan tumbuhan pionir tanah vulkanik yang tumbuh di daerah terbuka pada area pegunungan. Penelitian ini dilakukan karena masih terbatasnya informasi mengenai jenis dan persebaran edelweiss di Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis dan pola persebaran edelweiss di jalur pendakian Gunung Gede Pangrango. Data penelitian diperoleh dengan metode inventarisasi pada kelas perdu. Transek dibuat tegak lurus dengan jalur pendakian. Pada setiap transek dibuat empat buah Petak Ukur (PU) yaitu dua buah PU di sebelah kanan dan dua buah PU di sebelah kiri dengan jarak 20 m dari jalur pendakian dan antar PU. Transek diulangi setiap jarak 100 m. Ukuran PU yang digunakan 2 m x 2 m untuk kelas perdu A dan 5 m x 5 m untuk kelas perdu B. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa edelweiss yang ditemukan di TNGGP adalah A. javanica dan A. longifolia. Pola persebaran A. javanica pada kelas perdu A dan perdu B di Alun-alun Mandalawangi adalah mengelompok. Pola persebaran A. javanica pada kelas perdu A dan perdu B di alun-alun Surya Kencana adalah teratur dan mengelompok.

Edelweiss (Anaphalis spp.) is a pioneer species that grows in volcanic soils in the open area of the mountains. Little information is known about edelweiss and its distribution in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. The purpose of this study was to determine species and distribution pattern of edelweiss in Mandalawangi and Surya Kencana Meadows in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Inventory of edelweiss, which is a shrub, was conducted to identify its species and determine its class according to the height of the shrub. The shrub at class A refered to edelweiss which has the height ≤ 100 cm, while the shrub at class B refered to which has the height > 100 cm. Four plots were made at each transect. Two plots were made on the right and two plots were made on the left alongside a hiking trail, with a distance 20 m from the trail and inter plot. Transect was made and repeated every 100 m distance. The size of plot to determine the shrub at class A was 2 m x 2 m and the size of plot to determine the shrub at class B was 5 m x 5 m. The result showed that two species of edelweiss were found in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park namely A. javanica and A. longifolia. Pattern of distribution of A. javanica for both class A and B in Mandalawangi was clustered, while the pattern of distribution of class A and B in Surya Kencana was regular and clustered respectively.
