''Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana'' is a multivolume flora describing the vascular plants of the Guayana Region of Venezuela, encompassing the three states south of the Orinoco: Amazonas, Bolívar, and Delta Amacuro. Initiated by Julian Alfred Steyermark in the early 1980s, it was completed after his death under the guidance of Paul E. Berry, Kay Yatskievych, and Bruce K. Holst. The nine volumes were published between 1995 and 2005 by Timber Press and Missouri Botanical Garden Press.〔(Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana ). WorldCat.〕 The project brought together more than 200 botanists from around the world and was "the first effort to produce a comprehensive inventory and identification guide for the plants of such an extensive region of northern South America".〔Berry, P.E., K. Yatskievych & B.K. Holst (eds.) (2005). ''Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana. Volume 9. Rutaceae-Zygophyllaceae.'' Missouri Botanical Garden Press, St. Louis.〕 ==Volumes== The first volume, written primarily by Italian ecologist Otto Huber, is an introduction to the geography, ecology, botanical history and conservation of the Venezuelan Guayana, and includes two fold-out maps of the region (one vegetation and one topographical, both 1:2,000,000 scale).〔Berry, P.E., B.K. Holst & K. Yatskievych (eds.) (1995). ''Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana. Volume 1. Introduction.'' Missouri Botanical Garden Press, St. Louis.〕 The subsequent eight volumes cover the known plant families of the area in alphabetical order, each treating around 1000–1300 species. Ferns and fern allies are covered in the first part of volume 2, with the remainder of that volume, and the rest of the flora, devoted to seed plants (generally following the Cronquist system for flowering plants). Both native and naturalised species are included. Around half of all species are illustrated with black-and-white line drawings by Venezuelan artist Bruno Manara. Species accounts include non-exhaustive synonymies, and vernacular names are occasionally given.〔(Projects: Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana ). Missouri Botanical Garden.〕〔Harriman, N.A. (March 2003).
