The palm community of the Piste de St-Elie rain forest, French Guiana, was studied from February 1986 to December 1987, in relation to soil drainage conditions and forest structure. Inventories were carried out on four 2 400-5 000 m2 plots (totaling 1.24 ha) representative of the edaphic conditions of the area (Table I). The minimum size of the area necessary to evaluate palm species richness was shown to be 2 000 m2 (Fig. 1). Within each plot every individual palm, whether seedling, juvenile or adult, was identified and enumerated. The characteristics of the most common species are described, and some of them figured on plates I to III. Eighteen species of palms were found in the 1.24 ha study area, a species richness similar to that of t...
