| description | Background and Aims: The genus Psittacanthusis the largest of the family Loranthaceae, inhabiting temperate and tropical zones of the New World, with a large group of hosts. The objective of this study was to determine the species present in the state of Veracruz, Mexico.Methods: The specimens of Psittacanthus collected in Veracruz and deposited in the herbaria ENCB, MEXU and XAL were reviewed. These were identified using keys of taxonomic treatments and floras, supported by collections and observation of the species in the field.Key results: It was possible to identify morphological characteristics that allow to differentiate the four species of Psittacanthusdistributed in Veracruz. As such, the confusion that existed to distinguish the taxa of this genus in the state could be solved. In addition, a key is presented to differentiate the species, and descriptions, photographs and distribution maps of each of them are presented.Conclusions: With this work, it was possible to clarify the confusions among the species of the genus Psittacanthus that are distributed in Veracruz, excluding P. americanus that other authors have cited for the state. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El género Psittacanthus es el más grande de la familia Loranthaceae, habita en zonas templadas y tropicales del Nuevo Mundo, con un amplio grupo de hospederos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar las especies presentes en el estado de Veracruz, México.Métodos: Se revisaron los especímenes de Psittacanthus colectados en Veracruz y depositados en los herbarios ENCB, MEXU y XAL. La determinación de los mismos se realizó utilizando las claves de diferentes tratamientos taxonómicos y floras, con el apoyo de colectas y observación de las especies en campo.Resultados clave: Se lograron identificar las características morfológicas que permiten diferenciar a las cuatro especies de Psittacanthus distribuidas en Veracruz. Con esto, se resuelve la confusión que se tenía para distinguir a los taxa de este género en el estado. Además, se presenta una clave para diferenciarlos, una descripción, fotografías y mapas de distribución de cada uno de ellos.Conclusiones: Con este trabajo se lograron esclarecer las confusiones entre las especies del género Psittacanthus que se distribuyen en Veracruz, excluyendo así mismo a P. americanus que otros autores han citado para el estado.
