by S. A. Mori and N. Smith
This glossary was originally developed for the Guide to the Vascular Plants of Central French Guiana (Mori et al., 1997, 2002) and then elaborated on for the Flowering Plants of the Neotropics (Smith et al., 2004). This version is an adaptation of these earlier versions and will eventually be illustrated with as many images as possible.
