  abstract = {{W}e explored a 320-km transect in the {T}umucumaque mountain range along the border between southern {F}rench {G}uiana and {B}razil, sampling all trees and lianas with {DBH} >= 10 cm in seven 25 x 25-m plots installed near seven boundary milestones. {W}e isolated {DNA} from cambium tissue and sequenced two {DNA} barcodes (rbc{L}a and mat{K}) to aid in species identification. {W}e also collected fertile herbarium specimens from other species (trees/shrubs/herbs) inside and outside the plots. {T}he selected {DNA} barcodes were useful at the family level but failed to identify specimens at the species level. {B}ased on {DNA} barcoding identification, the most abundant families in the plots were {B}urseraceae, {F}abaceae, {M}eliaceae, {M}oraceae, {M}yristicaceae and {S}apotaceae. {O}ne third of the images of sampled plants posted on the i{N}aturalist website were identified by the community to species level. {N}ew approaches, including the sequencing of the {ITS} region and fast evolving {DNA} plastid regions, remain to be tested for their utility in the identification of specimens at lower taxonomic levels in floristic inventories in the {A}mazon region.},
