Checklist of the Plants of the Guianas 

(Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana) 

INTRODUCTION 

This checklist is a preliminary listing of the known vascular plants (flowering plants, 

gnetophytes, cycads, conifers, ferns and fern allies) and bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, 

liverworts) from the "Guianas". Our knowledge of the algae is insufficient to enable us to 

produce a species list at this time; however, we have included the Characeae (stoneworts) of the 

macroalgae because the information was easily available. This checklist excludes lichens and 

fungi, which are usually classified together under fungi and are not plants in the strict sense. A 

checklist of the lichens reported from the Guianas before 1987 has been published (Hekking and 

Sipman 1988) and hopefully, a list of all the fungal groups will be forthcoming. 

This checklist is an attempt to list all of the vascular plants and bryophytes of the Guianas 

in an effort to encourage further research. Checklists have many uses. They can aid in 

identifications, although new species and new records are always a possibility. In addition, 

checklists tell us how many organisms of a certain kind are in a particular area which can give us 

an idea of the species richness. Checklists can act as an indicator of endemicity within an area 

and provide information on the number of introduced species. They can be used in a comparative 

manner between and among areas. If they cover a natural area (one that has biotic or geologic 

significance) they can be used to formulate questions about centers of origin and evolutionary 

history. In addition, a checklist is a way to help standardize spelling and authors and to promote 

accurate labeling of specimens. Checklists, however, reflect our knowledge at a particular time 

and our current taxonomic opinions and so their usefulness is tempered by the knowledge that 

they are never 100% correct and that the list will be constantly changing. For instance, we are 

sure that this list contains incorrect synonomies, records based on misidentifications, that 

additional species remain to be added, and that many species have not yet been described or even 

discovered. However, this type of "snapshot" is valuable because it provides a way of focusing 

and stimulating work in the area. In order to help us keep this checklist as current as possible, 

please contact the Director, Biological Diversity of the Guianas Program, with any additions or 

corrections. 

The northeastern shoulder of South America along the Atlantic coast is commonly known 

as "The Guianas" and consists of three political areas (Map 1) with a total area of about 500,000 

sq. km. The westernmost political entity is Guyana, formerly known as British Guiana, which 

has 800,000 inhabitants and an area of 231,800 sq. km. To the east of Guyana is Surinam, 

formerly known as Dutch Guiana, with 400,000 inhabitants and 173,840 sq. km. The easternmost 

is French Guiana, an 

1

overseas department of France, with 120,000 inhabitants and 88,240 sq. km. (areas from 

McConnell and Choubert 1975). In all three of these areas, the population is concentrated along 

the coast and near the respective capital cities. 

The Guianas constitute only part of a phytogeographic or natural area called the Guiana 

Shield (see Geology section). To make them a natural area would require including Venezuela 

south and east of the Orinoco River and small parts of Colombia and Brazil. During the next year 

the "Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana" project of the Missouri Botanical Garden will produce a 

checklist for the Venezuelan Guayana. Proposed collaboration between the Smithsonian and 

Missouri will produce a combined checklist that will cover the bulk of the Guiana Shield area. 

We will then have a checklist of a natural area to study and determine if the flora of the Guiana 

shield is a unique evolutionary unit. 

For this checklist, we have recorded over 9200 species from the three Guianas: 

approximately 6500 from Guyana, 5100 from Surinam, and 5400 from French Guiana. Of these, 

only about 3% are introduced and naturalized. The families with the largest number of species in 

the Guianas are the Leguminosae (Cronquist, 1981, divides the legumes into three segregate 

families but they are often treated as one) with more than 800 species and the Orchidaceae with 

about 700. Other large families are the Rubiaceae and the Poaceae or grasses, both with more 

than 400 species. 

GEOLOGY 

Underlying all of northeastern South America is the Guiana Shield (Map 2), which 

occupies a broad area between the Atlantic Ocean and the Orinoco and Amazon rivers. In 

addition to the three Guianas, the Guiana Shield covers a small part of eastern Colombia and the 

Venezuelan departments of Amazonas and Bolivar to the west and parts of the Brazilian 

departments of Roraima, Pará and Amapá to the south and east. Geologically, the Guiana Shield 

is an ancient Precambrian land mass (4 billion - 590 million years old) made up of varied 

formations of sedimentary and igneous origin that were metamorphosed and folded (McConnell 

and Choubert 1975). Overlying the central portion of the Shield are the Roraima sediments that, 

although lacking in fossils, are believed to have been laid down on the Guiana Shield during the 

Cretaceous Period (140 - 68 million years ago) probably as shallow marine or brackish water 

deposits (Gansser 1954, Maguire 1970). The Roraima formation consists of pink, yellow and 

white sandstones, red quartzites, green, black and red shales, conglomerates and boulder beds 

(Fanshawe 1952). At an earlier time, the Roraima formation must have been considerably larger, 

perhaps extending south to the Matto Grosso highlands in Brazil (Fanshawe 1952, Gansser 1954). 

Erosion decreased the size of the formation and the remaining sediments extend west from the 

Kaieteur escarpment in central Guyana, forming the Pakaraima Mountains, and on through parts 

of Venezuela and Colombia and south into northern Brazil (Leechman 1913). Within this area, 

erosion has created vertical-walled, more or less flat-topped peaks called "tepui". These tablelike 

formations are often virtually inaccessible and are so unusual that in a fictional account of a 

scientific expedition, one of them was referred to as "The Lost World"

(Doyle 1912). Their unique flora and fauna has resulted in the descriptor "lost world" being 

applied to all of these table mountains. The highest peaks of the Guianas are found in the Roraima 

Formation in western Guyana with Mt. Roraima reaching 2772 m., Mt. Wokumung to 2134 m., 

and Mt. Ayanganna to 2042 m. 

The Guiana Shield can be divided into four natural geologic regions: 1) coastal plain; 2) 

central pediplains and rugged mountains of Precambrian metamorphic and granitic rocks; 3) high 

plateaus of the Pakaraima Mountains, formed by the tabular Roraima Formation; and 4) southern 

pediplains descending to the Rio Negro and the Amazon basin. 

VEGETATION TYPES 

The vegetation of the Guianas is determined by the underlying geology, altitude, and 

annual amount of rainfall. All of the Guianas experience at least one dry season a year and 

during most years, two. As with most tropical countries, the rains sometimes come early or 

sometimes late, and occasionally a dry or rainy season does not occur at all. In general, there is 

sufficient rainfall for most of the Guiana area to be forested. The estimated percentage of forest 

cover varies from 86% for Guyana (Haman and Wood 1928) to 97.7% for French Guiana (de 

Granville 1974). The Guianas have a remarkable diversity of organisms and their rich flora and 

fauna remain largely unexplored and unexploited. They constitute one of the few tropical areas 

worldwide that still has the majority of its forests intact. Estimates vary, but clearly only a small 

percentage of the Guianas has been deforested. 

There are nine vegetation types in the Guianas according to Lindeman and Mori (1989): 

1. seasonal evergreen forest (or seasonal wet forest); 2. mangrove; 3. strand vegetation (beach 

vegetation); 4. marsh forests; 5. swamp forests; 6. herbaceous swamps; 7. savannas; 8. montane 

vegetation; and 9. inselbergs (granitic outcrops). However, Lindeman and Mori's list focuses 

mainly on Suriman and French Guiana. Fanshawe (1952) lists 28 vegetation types in six 

categories for Guyana: 1. rain forest; 2. seasonal forest; 3. dry evergreen forest; 4. montane 

forest; 5. marsh forest (includes savannas); and 6. swamp forest (includes mangrove and 

herbaceous swamps types). Neither list covers all of the vegetation types with the Lindeman and 

Mori list lacking several forest types and the Fanshawe list missing the strand and inselberg 

vegetation. Combining the two lists gives a broader, more complete range of vegetation types 

found in this region. One possible way to combine the two lists is to use the 28 types of 

Fanshawe's and add the two missing categories from Lindeman and Mori. 

SOME CURRENT PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS IN THE GUIANAS 

Several programs and projects are now underway in the Guianas. A few that deal with 

floras are listed below. The first two collaborated to produce this checklist. 

Biological Diversity of the Guianas (BDG) - Smithsonian Institution. The BDG started 

in 1983 and now operates from the "Centre for the Study of Biological Diversity" on the campus 

of the University of Guyana. The BDG program seeks to 

7

document and study the flora and fauna of the Guianas. Activities include collecting specimens 

to be housed at the Centre and training students and staff of the University as well as producing 

checklists, flora treatments, inventories, vegetation maps, and other publications such as a listing 

of the plants and animals of Kaieteur Falls National Park in Guyana. 

Herbarium of Cayenne - ORSTOM. The general herbarium was founded in 1965 by R. 

A. A. Oldeman to succeed the savanna (grass) collection established by J. Hoock between 1955 

and 1965. From the beginning, the activity of the laboratory focused on the floristic and 

ecological studies of the forests of French Guiana. Activities in Cayenne include collecting 

specimens in remote areas of the country, especially inselbergs, and producing treatments for 

flora projects. In 1988, a checklist of the Flowering Plants and Pteridophytes of French Guiana 

was published (Cremers et al. 1988). The herbarium of some 60,000 specimens is stored 

electronically (completed in 1988) in the data bank AUBLET. 

Flora of the Guianas. An international consortium of nine botanical institutions formed 

in 1983 to produce a written account of the plants of the Guianas. The Flora project has its 

editorial center at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. Some of the contributors to this 

checklist are also participating in the Flora of the Guianas project; however, this checklist is not 

part of the Flora nor is it associated with it in any way. 

Flora of Central French Guiana. A joint project by the New York Botanical Garden and 

ORSTOM to produce a flora of 50,000 hectares of rainforest near Saül, French Guiana. 

World Wildlife Fund. WWF collaborated with the University of Guyana and the 

Smithsonian's Biological Diversity of the Guianas Program to build a Center for the Study of 

Biological Diversity on the University Campus. 

Conservation International. Operates a "Guianas Regional Program" (consisting of 

Surinam and Guyana) to assist these countries in conservation matters and to conduct 

ethnobotanical studies. 

EXPLANATION OF CHECKLIST AND EDITORIAL NOTES 

The checklist includes the vascular plants and bryophytes of Guyana, Surinam and 

French Guiana. Although the checklist does not cover most algae, the Characeae are included. 

The lichens and fungi are not included. As this checklist is preliminary, the quality and coverage 

of the families varies widely depending on the availability of recent floristic and/or monographic 

literature and the participation of specialists. However, contributing specialists sometimes have 

supplied names that could not be verified from the literature. At this point it isn't always clear 

what is new and/or unpublished information and what is based on literature we have not accessed. 

Family circumscriptions of the flowering plants follows Cronquist (1981), except our 

recognition of the family Bonnetiaceae on the recommendation of A. Weitzman (personal 

communication). Pteridophytes follow the classification in the US 

National Herbarium (US), as arranged by D. Lellinger. Bryophytes follow the arrangement of S. 

R. Gradstein and the Characeae that of M. Guerlesquin. 

8

Author abbreviations follow Stafleu and Cowan (1976-1988) whenever possible. 

However, some author citations remain incomplete (e.g., "Smith", "Presl", "Jussieu") because we 

have insufficient information to make a decision. Also, "H.B.K." is cited throughout the checklist 

as "Kunth". 

A few taxon names are included in the list that we have been unable to verify. Some may 

be new records, most are probably misidentifications or synonyms and still others are names from 

the literature that the editors cannot verify. The "unverified names" were not contributed by the 

specialists. 

Sources of Information - Several sources were used for the data presented in the checklist: 1) 

the literature: see references at the end of each family and in the General Reference section; 2) 

contributions by specialists, either as provided by an individual and therefore listed as 

"contributed by..." or the list was reviewed or proofread, in which case it is listed as "reviewed 

by...."; 3) databases: Centre Technique Forestier Tropical - France, Herbarium of Cayenne - 

ORSTOM, Biological Diversity of the Guianas Program - Smithsonian Institution; and 4) 

herbarium records, i.e., specimens at: BRG, CAY, US, MO. All abbreviations for herbaria 

follow Holmgren et al. (1990). Families listed without contributors or reviewers were compiled 

by the editors. 

The bibliography is not exhaustive. Only recent monographic and floristic literature 

(generally after 1900) relevant to the covered geographic area was surveyed (see General 

References). Families without corresponding specialists have more extensive literature citations. 

If a family had a recent treatment (e.g., in the Flora of the Guianas (Görts-van Rijn), Flora of 

Suriname (Pulle), Botany of the Guayana Highland (Maguire and Collaborators), Flora 

Neotropica, or family monographs) then little additional work was done for the present list. 

In a few cases (Cyperaceae, Myrtaceae, some parts of Orchidaceae), separate lists were 

provided by more than one specialist. In all such cases, the lists were not 100% in agreement and 

the list presented is an amalgamation of the two. In the species lists in general, and the 

synonymies in particular (see below), it should be noted that different systematists will have 

different opinions on the status of particular names. 

Taxa known only from Mt. Roraima have caused a problem because this table-mountain 

is located on the borders of Guyana, Venezuela and Brazil. Specimens from this area may lack a 

country designation or it may be incorrect or unknown, especially in historical collections. To 

prevent confusion, taxa known in the Guianas only from Mt. Roraima have been listed as "Mt. 

Roraima" rather than Guyana. However, as we continue to explore the Pakaraima Mountains, 

some taxa previously known only from Mt. Roraima may also be found in Guyana. 

Included and Excluded names - This checklist includes indigenous taxa and naturalized taxa (so 

noted when possible) as well as taxa from neighboring areas that 

may be expected in the Guianas. Infraspecific taxa at the level of subspecies and variety are 

included at the discretion of the contributors. 

9

We have excluded taxa known only in cultivation in the Guianas. Although some of 

these may be found as escapees, they are generally not well-established. DeFilipps (1992) has 

listed many of the cultivated plants in his recent publication. Infraspecific taxa at the level of 

"forma" are excluded as well as names of varietal status not currently considered to be distinct 

from the "typical" variety. 

Synonymies and Taxa not Known in the Guianas - The synonymy is not meant to be 

exhaustive. We have included synonyms only if the synonymized name is found in recent 

literature. Because some of the synonymies are taken from the literature they may not all 

conform to the taxonomic concepts of the contributing specialist for that family. 

In many cases, a species has been reported from the Guianas either because of a broad 

species circumscription that has since been restricted (or as an infraspecific taxon that has since 

been raised to species status), or due to misidentifications or other errors. In either case, the name 

is listed at the end of the family with the notation "Not in the Guianas". 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

This publication is the result of the work of many people. Just over a year ago we sent 

over 200 letters asking for specialists to assist us in producing a checklist. Since that time, 110 

have responded by sending lists and/or by editing. Their names are listed at the beginning of the 

family list with which they assisted as well as in Appendix A. We thank them all. We thank J. J. 

de Granville, director of the herbarium in Cayenne, and his staff, especially M. F. Prévost, for 

their hospitality and assistance in French Guiana. In addition, from the Smithsonian Institution, 

we thank D. B. Lellinger and L. E. Skog for being especially helpful with the overall project, S. 

S. Hodapp for technical assistance and M. T. Strong for assisting with the editing. 

This is publication number 7 from the Smithsonian Institution's Biological Diversity of 

the Guianas Program (BDG). This publication was supported by the BDG program and while 

supplies last, copies are available from the program at no charge.
