The guide brings information about the Marantaceae family, which has 31 genera and about 530 species. Nine genera occur in the Brazilian Amazon. The intention is to perform the 'miracle' of taking the species off the 'green carpet', that is, to name the species and highlight their unique characteristics, and bring them to the eyes of those who want to see them. The work was written in Portuguese and English, with a simple language accessible to all types of audience.
