During the development of research carried out by the Amazon Flora Program of the SINCHI Institute, 1159 useful species belonging to 150 botanical families have been identified for the entire Amazonian region of Colombia. The collection is classified into 12 categories of use corresponding to: food, medicine, artisanal, fodder, psychotropic, toxic, ornamental, magical, fuel, sawmill, construction, dye and industrial. The percentage of species that have at least one identified use is presented in the table. The graph shows the number of records with at least one use category and the map shows the distribution of species with at least one use category.
