One way to find the right name for the plant that you are looking at is to compare it with the photographs in this Plant Guide shown below.

Another way is to use a key which is based on the characteristics of the leaves (such as whether they are opposite or alternate, simple or compound). These keys are based on leaves, because leaves are more readily available in a rainforest than flowers or fruit.
