APPENDIX 1 FLORISTIC CHECKLIST OF THE NOURAGUES AREA PierreBelbenoit, OdilePoncy, DanielSabatier, Marte- Francoise Prevost, BernardRiera, Patrick Blanc, DenisLarpin and CorinneSarthou The list includes data gathered at the 'Inselberg site' on an area of about 10 km2 (Charles Dominique Chapter I). It was compiled mainly from (a) the 'AUBLET' database of the 'Herbier de Guyane' (CAY) (Hoffet al. 1989); (b) the tree inventory in high forest (see Poncy et al. Chapter 4); (c) the botanical study of the inselberg (rock-savanna, Sarthou Chapter 6; low forests, Larpin Chapter 5). A few additional tree species recorded only from a 6-ha plot studied in the Saut-Parare area are also included (see Poncyet al. Chapter 4). The botanical information was provided by several botanists and ecologists, including S. Barrier, C. Julliot, D. Larpin, O. Poncy, M.-F. Prevost, B. Riera, D. Sabatier, B. Simmen, I-F. ViIliers (tree inventories), and also P. Blanc, M. Born, A. Cockle, G. Cremers, C. Feuillet, S. Gonzalez, J.-J. de Granville, M. Hoff, C. Sarthou, S.Y. Zhang. Nomenclatural and systematic arrangements follow the Checklist ofthe Plants ofthe Guianas (Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana) (Boggan et al. 1997), except when taxonomic novelties have been published subsequently. Incompletely identified taxa are mentioned only when they are sufficiently well documented to be sure that they are different from the other taxa. When collection references are missing or not reliable (e.g. records based on field observations without a voucher collection, or on a poor collection), names of taxa are placed between brackets. Differences may occur between this list and data presented in certain papers ofthis book. For example, as far as Myrtaceae are concerned, only 23 species out ofthe 33 mentioned by Larpin (Chapter 5) are listed. The 10 excluded taxa were considered insufficiently documented to be included in the checklist. The occurrence of the species in three major habitats is given: high dense forest (H), low forest on the slopes of the inselberg (L), and rock-savanna (RS). 'H' comprises various vegetation types, including mixed transitional forest at the foothill of the inselberg, swamp forest with Euterpe palms, liana forest, and bamboo forest, the two latter eventually being considered (cf Poncy et al. Chapter 4) as having originated from ancient anthropic influence. Information on habitat type may be missing, for instance when not indicated by the collector, or when the record of the species is based on seeds from the seed bank or from faeces, or on a specimen collected in a disturbed area (such as around the camp). The comparative importance of the species in these three major habitats was estimated using the information at our disposal. The symbol (x) indicates that the species can be expected in that habitat, based either on our knowledge .;ynamicnncl pI_-lRimal interactions in a neotropical rainforest, 301-341. -, er ACldemic Publislrcrs, Printed inthe Netherlands, 302 P.
