Abstract (en):
We present a list of the vascular plants found in the Inírida fluvial confluence which is part of the Guiana Shield, comprised of flooded and non-flooded heterogeneous forests and white sands with shrubby and herbaceous vegetation known as sabanetas or caatingas. The studied area is considered a high diversity region, classified as an exclusive area in Colombia due to its rare edaphic conditions which support high levels of endemisms. There are 833 species, 402 genera, and 123 families of registered vascular plants. The most represented families are Rubiaceae with 66 species, Melastomataceae with 52, Fabaceae with 36, Euphorbiaceae with 32, Cyperaceae with 31, and Apocynaceae with 24.

Se presenta el listado de especies de plantas vasculares que crecen en la Estrella Fluvial de Inírida, un área que hace parte del Escudo Guayanés, donde la cobertura vegetal incluye bosques heterogéneos no inundables, bosques inundables y zonas cubiertas de arenas blancas con vegetación arbustiva y herbácea, llamadas "sabanetas" o "catingas". El área de estudio es considerada como zona de alta diversidad y se constituye como un área exclusiva en Colombia, con unas condiciones edáficas poco comunes que mantienen altos niveles de endemismo. Se registraron 833 especies de plantas vasculares, correspondientes a 402 géneros y 123 familias, de las cuales las más diversas fueron Rubiaceae con 66 especies, Melastomataceae con 52, Fabaceae con 36, Euphorbiaceae con 32, Cyperaceae con 31 y Apocynaceae con 24.
