Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador

Please note: Locations of towns and cities are approximate.

Those species followed by CL are confirmed by Claude Lemaire; those followed by LR are confirmed by Luigi Racheli. Many species are confirmed by both of those gentlemen; I have only recorded the intitials for the one whose documentation I was perusing at the time of creating this list.

There are probably more species present than are recorded in the table below.
