Dominant or conspicuous taxa of secondary and roadside vegetation in the Maquipucuna region, between 1150 and 1500 m -- Appendix B. Dominant or abundant taxa of primary cloud forest (lower montane forest), 17002000 m -- Appendix C. Dominant or abundant taxa of upper montane forest, 21002750 m -- Appendix D. Dominant and conspicuous taxa in riparian vegetation, 11252000 m -- Appendix E. Distribution of epiphytes in the Maquipucuna vascular flora; Literature Cited; Plates.
