[edit] Várzea in Brazil not "swamp" forest

A várzea forest in the Brazilian Amazon is best translated as a river floodplain forest. In the lower Amazon River basin, a swamp forest would be an igapó, but that same word means a forest flooded with blackwater in the upper Amazon. --Wloveral (talk) 22:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
