Abstract
The families studied are alphabetically arranged. Each scientific species name is followed by the vernacular name it received in Venezuelan Guiana, e.g. Bravaisia integerrima = Naranjillo (vernacular name). The vernacular names are of most importance, because certain species could not be scientifically identified. Furthermore, the species are well known by their vernacular names in the country, and anybody who wants to collect material in Venezuelan Guiana possibly needs the help of a so-called “bacchiano ”who knows plants only by their vernacular names.
