Tropical Biodiversity - The Amazon  
Diary of an old gringo at his small forest reserve, Bosque Santa Lúcia, near Santarém - Pará - Brazil. Only 18km from the Amazon and Tapajós Rivers. Special attention given to the photography of tropical flora and fauna. This is not scientific research, only observations of what goes on in the forest and the surrounding area from day to day.

My thanks to my friend Claudio Serique for identifying this orchid as SPATHOGLOTTIS, an orchid from Philippines.

Seedpod

Feb 4, 2010
A seedpod from a paricá tree (Schizolobium parahyba) didn't quite make it to the ground. It seems to have been caught up in the brush for some time.

excellent
  Steven knows his Amazon plants and bugs! He's a friend, but nonetheless, this is a top-notch site for those interested in the Amazon.
