We are grateful to CNRS for providing the funding needed to get this web site established through the Amazonie Research Program and to our respective institutions for their support of this project. All of the botanical line illustrations and photographs used in these pages are attributed to the respective artists and photographers. However, botanical artist Bobbi Angell and botanical photographer Carol Gracie, provided most of the images and for this we express our special thanks. We thank Naomi Pitcairn for allowing us to use the image that appears in the banner.
