| contents | Bromeliad flora of Oaxaca, Mexico: richness and distribution Nancy Martínez-Correa Adolfo Espejo-Serna Ana Rosa López-Ferrari Valeria Angélica Pulido-Esparza Biología flora Mexico Oaxaca endemism diversity The current knowledge of the bromeliad flora of the state of Oaxaca, Mexicois presented. Oaxaca is the Mexican state with the largest number of bromeliad species.Based on the study of 2,624 herbarium specimens corresponding to 1,643 collections,and a detailed bibliographic revision, we conclude that the currently known bromeliadflora for Oaxaca comprises 172 species and 15 genera. All Mexican species of the generaBromelia, Fosterella, Greigia, Hohenbergiopsis, Racinaea, and Vriesea are represented inthe state. Aechmea nudicaulis, Bromelia hemisphaerica, Catopsis nitida, C. oerstediana,C. wawranea, Pitcairnia schiedeana, P. tuerckheimii, Racinaea adscendens, Tillandsiabalbisiana, T. belloensis, T. brachycaulos, T. compressa, T. dugesii, T. foliosa, T.flavobracteata, T. limbata, T. maritima, T. ortgiesiana, T. paucifolia, T. pseudobaileyi, T.rettigiana, T. utriculata, T. x marceloi, Werauhia pycnantha, and W. nutans are recorded forthe first time from Oaxaca. Collections from 226 (of 570) municipalities and all 30 districtsof the state were studied. Among the vegetation types occurring in Oaxaca, oak forest is therichest with 83 taxa, followed by tropical deciduous forest with 74, and cloud forest with 73species. Species representation and distribution in Oaxaca are analyzed in detail. We alsoprovide a comparison with bromeliad floras of the states of Chiapas, Guerrero, Puebla andVeracruz. The analysis of the species and collections by altitudinal intervals shows that thehighest numbers of both ocurre between 1,500 and 2,000 m, with the number of speciesmarkedly decreasing above 2,500 m. 2007 artículo científico 0187-7151 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57408105 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=574 Acta Botanica Mexicana application/pdf Instituto de Ecología, A.C.
