The phylogeny of this family is under revision but it is well enough understood to know that this family has a rich and interesting history in the Guiana Shield area. We know from the molecular data that there are a number of genera that have their primary radiation in the area and that there are many endemics. Very little is known about the phylogeny of the Guiana Shield members of the other large family, the Orchidaceae. In a broad scope of botanical understanding, the combination of such checklists looks to the evolutionary and ecological importance of physical conditions beyond those of political units and boundaries. This process is simply a step in the direction of looking at a flora at the level of the distinct geological unit of the Guiana Shield. In the future there will be additional field trips and further progress on the Flora of the Guianas (Nationaal Herbarium Nederland 2006) which will provide additions and corrections to this list. Also, future developments will hopefully include the 13 ability to analyze plant community composition on finer levels of the landscape, and to produce customized checklists for analysis and conservation with the aid of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies drawing upon improved databases incorporating georeferenced historical collections from many herbaria. USING THE CHECKLIST For each family, accepted names are listed followed by the known distributions. Abbreviations used are Amazonas (AM), Bolívar (BO), and Delta Amacuro (DA); and for the three Guianas: Guyana (GU), Surinam (SU), and French Guiana (FG). Comments following the accepted name or synonym are enclosed in brackets and include aspects such as: exotic species, distributional expectations or details, and in the case of misidentifications an indication that the taxon is not found in the flora area. Some taxa are listed
