Flora of Venezuelan Guayana images - Gentian Research Network

The Flora of Venezuelan Guayana covers the states of Amazonas, Bolívar, and Delta Amacuro in Venezuela, and the parts of the country that belongs to the geologic formations of the Guayana Shield. This includes the lowland savannas and rainforest of the basins of Rio Negro and Rio Orinoco, as well as Pantepui, the sheer-walled table-top mountains called tepuis. This area contains a unique flora and many endemic gentians.
