Located in the southeastern half of Venezuela, the Venezuelan Guayana is
the core area of what has been called "The Lost World." The area is
dominated by massive table mountains known as tepuis, and includes many
endemic species and genera, with much of the area still in pristine
condition. There are nearly 10,000 species in the flora area, and over
half will be illustrated by line drawings.
