Name: Central Guianan Flooded Savanna Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The main type of savanna in this macrogroup is a sort of riparian system occurring along alluvial valley bottoms in the Gran Savanna and other mid-elevation areas of the Guiana highlands, between 600-1000 m altitude. It is formed by a dense tall grass cover up to 2 m high and large populations of the palm <i>Mauritia flexuosa</i>. Other species of this community include <i>Hypogynium virgatum, Andropogon</i> spp., <i>Panicum</i> spp., <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Byttneria genistella, Xyris</i> spp., <i>Miconia stephananthera, Mahurea exstipulata, Piper sabanense</i>, and <i>Piper tamayoanum</i>. Other types of the macrogroup are much more restricted in distribution and are scattered in a few locations in the piedmont of the Guiana highlands. The distribution of the macrogroup is mainly Venezuela, but it extends to Brazil and Guyana.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40952-{E4332720-746E-43E4-803A-EA28BD8D4DFA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
