In this, the names of species described and/or cited by Rolander were faithfully retained, hence preserving the indication of them without authorship, for the vast majority. In the present work, all the names of plants that were treated by Rolander in his journal, about 664, including by tradition the fungi and algae, are contextualised in relation to the authorship, reference to the publication of the protologue, pagination of citations/descriptions in the manuscripts and in the published translation, indication of probable misidentifications with possible alternative names, vernacular names, and related literature. Additionally, we searched for the vouchers collected by Rolander, scattered in several herbaria, which have been linked to the probable names and descriptions in the diary. Given the considerable time till the publication of these names, and by the lack of indication of their nomenclatural types in the English version, the great majority of the new species described by Rolander, which would have priority if published in due time, became invalid names according to the ICN. Nevertheless, the list of Rolandrian species here presented, from his work that has finally taken a place in the history of natural sciences, shows that he was also a competent botanist, besides being a skilled entomologist, having recognised and detailedly described many of the Surinamese plants hitherto unknown to science. Key words: Carl Linnaeus, Christen Friis Rottbøll, historical collections, Peter Jonas Bergius, taxonomy, Surinamese flora Resumo Os manuscritos do Diarium Surinamicum de Daniel Rolander permaneceram praticamente ignorados e inéditos por mais de 240 anos, até a recente publicação de sua tradução para o Inglês, ocorrida em 2008. Nesta, os nomes das espécies descritas e/ou citadas por Rolander foram reproduzidos fielmente daquilo que se encontra nos manuscritos, conservando desta forma a não indicação da autoria, para a grande maioria dos mesmos. No presente trabalho, todos os nomes das plantas que foram tratadas por Rolander em seu diário, cerca de 664, incluindo-se por tradição os fungos e algas, são contextualizados quanto à autoridade, referência à publicação do protólogo, paginação das citações/descrições nos manuscritos e na tradução publicada, indicação de prováveis más identificações com possíveis nomes alternativos, nomes vernáculos, e literatura relacionada. Adicionalmente, buscou-se pelos vouchers coletados por Rolander, dispersos em vários herbários, que ora são indicados aos prováveis nomes e descrições do diário. Dado o considerável tempo para a publicação desses nomes, e por não terem a indicação dos tipos nomenclaturais na tradução para o Inglês, a grande maioria das espécies novas descritas por Rolander, que teriam prioridade se publicadas em sua devida época, tornaram-se nomes inválidos perante o Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Botânica (ICN). Apesar disso, a partir da listagem das espécies de Rolander aqui apresentadas, de seu trabalho que finalmente alcançou uma colocação na história das ciências naturais, denota-se que ele foi também um botânico competente, tendo reconhecido e detalhadamente descrito muitas das espécies surinamenses até então desconhecidas da ciência.
