Even finding a major drainage would be OK with me. If I could find that
plant X occurs in any of the Rio Negro drainage, that would probably be
sufficient. It's difficult to even find this information for fish, let
alone plants. Just a pipe dream. I'll continue perusing people's
dissertations about all kinds of topics, but they are sometimes helpful
because they note what they saw while visiting a certain area.
In North America, censuses of flora and fauna are conducted all the time
by various governmental and non-governmental organizations. I suppose
I'm kind of used to how things are done here in the States, and I
unconsciously expect that elsewhere in the world.
