description Lamiaceae is one of the most diverse families in Mexico; however, no recent data on distribution and richness were available for Michoacán. Fourteen genera and 105 native or naturalized species were recorded, following a thorough review of bibliographical sources and herbarium specimens at CIMI, EBUM, ENCB, IEB and MEXU. Salvia is the most widely represented genus, followed by Stachys, Hyptis and Scutellaria. Five endemic species of Salvia were found and one more for Stachys, as well as two new records for Scutellaria. Most of the species are located in the Mexican Volcanic Arc province, in temperate environments where conifer, oak and mesophyllous forests prevail. Fewer representatives were found in the Sierra Madre del Sur province for most of the genera, except Vitex; mainly within the Balsas and Tepalcatepec river depressions. Those genera with North American Laurasian affinities were located in the conifer forests of the Mexican Volcanic Arc and the Sierra Madre del Sur, whereas Hyptis and Vitex of South American Gondwanan affinity were most frequent in the tropical dry forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Michoacán is among the most diverse Mexican states with respect to Lamiaceae; however, these numbers may increase following a significant collection effort for the noticeably neglected Sierra Madre del Sur region.

La familia Lamiaceae es una de las más diversas en México; sin embargo, para Michoacán no se contaba con datos actualizados sobre la riqueza y distribución de sus integrantes. Con base en la revisión bibliográfica y de ejemplares depositados en los herbarios CIMI, EBUM, ENCB, IEB y MEXU se registraron 14 géneros y 105 especies nativas o naturalizadas, siendo Salvia el género mejor representado, seguido de Stachys, Hyptis y Scutellaria. Se encontraron cinco especies endémicas de Salvia y una de Stachys, además de dos nuevos registros para Scutellaria. La mayoría de las especies se encuentran en la provincia del Sistema Neovolcánico Transversal en la que prevalecen ambientes templados con vegetación de bosques de coníferas, encinos y mesófilo de montaña. La provincia de la Sierra Madre del Sur tiene menor representación para la mayoría de los géneros, excepto Vitex que se encuentra principalmente en las Depresiones de los ríos Balsas y Tepalcatepec. Aquellos géneros con afinidad Laurásica Norteamericana se encuentran dentro del Sistema Neovolcánico Transversal y la Sierra Madre del Sur principalmente en bosques de coníferas, mientras que Hyptis y Vitex de afinidad Gondwánica Sudamericana son más frecuentes en bosques tropicales secos de la Sierra Madre del Sur. Michoacán se ubica entre los estados más diversos en Lamiaceae para la República Mexicana; sin embargo, las cifras proporcionadas podrían aumentar cuando se subsane la escasez de ejemplares procedentes principalmente de la Sierra Madre del Sur, región que ha sido poco colectada.
