Big trees. Little trees. Bromiliads. Orchids. Ferns. Honestly, zillions of things. There's more variety in 1 sq metre of Amazonia than in 1 sq km of most temperate places.

This is a tropical and of course wet area. Much of it unexplored. Therefore they are still finding new plant life. Of course the area steadily gets smaller each year due to cutting of the forests for timber and also to utilize the land for agriculture or developmental purposes.
