({L}ecythidaceae), several lectotypifications and new synonyms, as well as reinstatement of {S}loanea acutiflora {U}ittien ({E}laeocarpaceae), {E}ugenia sinemariensis {A}ubl. ({M}yrtaceae), and four species of {I}nga ({L}eguminosae). {I}n addition, we provide the most comprehensive list available to date of corresponding vernacular names (4354 for 1157 species) in nine languages spoken in {F}rench {G}uiana: {P}alikur, {K}ali'na, {T}eko, {W}ayapi, {W}ayana, {N}engee tongo ({A}luku/{N}djuka/{P}aramaka), {C}reole, {F}rench, and {B}rasilian {P}ortuguese. {T}he checklist is complemented by indexes of exsiccata, vernacular names and scientific names. {T}he introductory part is available in {F}rench and {E}nglish.}, keywords = {{F}rench {G}uiana ; trees ; scientific names ; vernacular names ; abundance data ; lectotypifications ; new combination ; new synonyms ; {GUYANE} {FRANCAISE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{A}dansonia}, volume = {44}, numero = {26}, pages = {345--903}, ISSN = {1280-8571}, year = {2022}, DOI = {10.5252/adansonia2022v44a26}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086872}, }
