Recursos en línea: Resumen: We report the results of the first complete samples of all plant species and individuals for any lowland tropical forest i The three forests sampled are in western Ecuador; Rio Palenque, Jauneche, and Capeira are, respectively, wet, mo forests. In each forest we sampled all vascular plants in a 0.1-ha area. At wet forest Rio Palenque, nontree habit group most of the sampled species and individuals. Over a third of the species and almost half the individual plants are e percent of the species are terrestrial herbs, 10 percent are shrubs, and 9 percent nonepiphytic climbers. The moist an samples have many fewer species, largely due to many fewer epiphytes. The new data are compared with the most di samples from elsewhere in the world. Our wet forest sample is by far the most species-rich such sample yet recorded remain so even if all tree species were excluded
