| description | The Sierra de Catorce located in the north of San Luis Potosí state, shelters some of the most important peaks within the Chihuahuan Desert, whose altitudes reach beyond 3000 meters. The fact that the Sierra is an important area for flora and plant community diversification in this ecoregion has been favoured by this situation. From a phytosociological study of the territory vegetation, carried out since 1999, we have extracted a preliminary checklist of the flora. Until now the vascular plants checklist is composed by 526 species and four infraespecific taxa, assambled in 293 genera and 88 families. The best represented families and genera are Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cactaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, and Lamiaceae, and Quercus, Opuntia, Muhlenbergia, Salvia, Agave, Bouteloua and Dyssodia respectively. The vegetation types representative of the area which shelter the diferent taxa, are indicated. Finally, from different checklists of threatened flora, the species included in some of the recognised categories are identified |

Ello ha favorecido que la Sierra sea una importante área de diversificación de la flora y las fitocenosis de dicha ecorregión. A partir del estudio fitosociológico de la vegetación del territorio, que se está realizando desde 1999, se ha obtenido un catálogo preliminar de su flora. Hasta el momento la lista de plantas vasculares está conformada por 526 especies y cuatro taxa infraespecíficos, agrupados en 293 géneros y 88 familias. Las familias y géneros mejor representados son Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cactaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae y Lamiaceae, así como Quercus, Opuntia, Muhlenbergia, Salvia, Agave, Bouteloua y Dyssodia, respectivamente. Asimismo se señalan los tipos de vegetación representativos del área que albergan los diferentes taxa. Por último, con base en diferentes listas de flora amenazada, se identificaron las especies incluidas en alguna de las categorías reconocidas.
