- Detailed information is provided on botanical activities in the Territorio Federal Amazonas, southern Venezuela, during the period 1800 to 31 December 1982. Emphasis is on botanical collections, their collectors, localities, itineraries, time period, number, and final deposit in the world's herbaria. The data are arranged both chronologically and alphabetically by collectors, including cross references between main and secondary collectors.
