First record of Vigna vexillata (Fabaceae, Faboideae) for Sinaloa, Mexico

Background and Aims: The Flora of Sinaloa consists of 3736 species; however, the knowledge of it is scarce. Most of the studies have been carried out in the northern portion, whereas the present work was developed in the south zone. The objective is to contribute to the knowledge of this flora, thro...

description Background and Aims: The Flora of Sinaloa consists of 3736 species; however, the knowledge of it is scarce. Most of the studies have been carried out in the northern portion, whereas the present work was developed in the south zone. The objective is to contribute to the knowledge of this flora, through a new record of the species Vigna vexillata at state level.Methods: Throughout the study area, five field trips were carried out, during which plants were collected, following the recommendations for the preparation of botanical specimens; these were determined with specialized taxonomic bibliography.Key results: A taxon of the genus Vigna was determined, which to date was not reported for the flora of Sinaloa. It is recognized for presenting the keel turn to left, cordate stipules, terete and linear fruit, and brown pubescence. The species was collected in the Escuinapa coastal area. This record extends the distribution of the species to a more northern area.Conclusions: This record suggests the need to continue observing the flora in the south area of the state of Sinaloa, since it is scarcely studied and presents a great variety of types of vegetation, which have remained unexplored.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: La Flora de Sinaloa está compuesta por 3736 especies registradas; sin embargo, su conocimiento es relativamente escaso y la mayoría de los estudios florísticos se han realizado en la porción norte, por lo cual se desarrolló en la zona sur el presente trabajo. Éste tiene como objetivo contribuir al conocimiento de dicha flora, a través de un nuevo registro para la especie Vigna vexillata, a nivel estatal.Métodos: Se realizaron cinco salidas a lo largo de la zona de estudio, durante las cuales se recolectaron plantas, siguiendo las recomendaciones para la preparación de ejemplares botánicos; estas se determinaron con ayuda de bibliografía taxonómica especializada.Resultados clave: Se encontró un taxon del género Vigna que no estaba reportado para la flora del estado de Sinaloa. Se reconoce por presentar el giro de quilla hacia la izquierda; las estípulas foliales cordadas; un fruto terete lineal y la pubescencia marrón. La especie fue colectada en la zona costera de Escuinapa. El registro extiende la distribución de la especie a una zona más norteña.Conclusiones: Este registro sugiere la necesidad de continuar con los trabajos de flora en la zona sur de Sinaloa, ya que es un área escasamente estudiada y que presenta una gran variedad de tipos de vegetación, los cuales han permanecido inexplorados.
