Volume I of A Pictorial Field Guide to the Woody Plants of the Amazon focuses on the fruits of all known Guianan plants covering about one-hundred families, 546 genera, and over 2,000 species.

This catalogue is restricted to woody plants only, i.e. trees and shrubs reaching over 1.5 m in height when full grown, lianas, vines, (hemi)-epiphytic climbing shrubs, and (sub)-ligneous epiphytes. Volumes II – IX of A Pictorial Field Guide to the Woody Plants of the Amazon treat 114 plant families in alphabetical order.

Each family is headed by a short family description based mainly on the more practicable field characters of leaves, inflorescences, flowers, and fruits. The section Notes includes remarks on habit, secretory systems, and seed dispersal - only when one may generalize on family level. Following a family description, each genus within the family is numbered and mentioned together with the author’s name. A genus description is given when more than one species within the genus are described. Each genus is followed by the species in alphabetical order and sub-numbered. This facilitates a quick determination of both the number of genera treated within a certain family and the number of species treated within a certain genus. The species name is followed by the author’s name according to up-to-date taxonomic literature, while one or more synonyms may be added in brackets. The species descriptions, as presented in Volumes II-IX, usually include four sections, the first word of each section being printed in italics. The first section gives simple leaf characters as far as they are practicable in the field, using for instance a pair of binoculars. The second section describes main characters of inflorescence, infructescence, (fruiting) calyx, flowering and/or fruiting pedicel. The third section describes, as detailed as possible, external and internal characters of fruit and seed(s). The fourth section, “Notes”, gives various remarks that may be useful in the field, such as plant habit, presence of secretory systems, bark features, seed dispersal strategy, phenology, occurrence (based on data from literature and samples in the Utrecht Herbarium plant collection),habitat and soil type (data usually taken from labels),and geographical distribution within the Guianas and the larger Amazonian region (data based on the literature and checklists from the respective countries, label information and the internet).
