| description | Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to know the flora and to describe the vegetation of the municipality of Álamo Temapache, Veracruz. The area is located in the north of this state and covers 1280.62 km2.Methods: A delimitation of the area was realized and collection routes for recognition of vegetation types were determined. Data of the vegetation types and components were taken and botanical samples collected. Finally, a vegetation map was made and a list of habit, common name and vegetation type for each species was elaborated.Key results: The results show a floristic list of 753 species, 491 genera and 124 families. The families with highest species numbers are Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae and Malvaceae. Eight vegetation types are recognized for the area: tropical evergreen forest, tropical deciduous forest, oak forest, palm forest, subaquatic and aquatic vegetation, secondary vegetation, weed community, and grassland. Most of the area is occupied by orchards and farmland. The weed community is the most extensive in the area, followed by induced grassland and tropical deciduous forest.Conclusions: The area has been radically changed by anthropic activities, only 8% of the original vegetation remains. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la flora y describir la vegetación del municipio Álamo Temapache, en el estado de Veracruz, México. El área está ubicada en el norte del estado y ocupa una extensión de 1280.62 km2.Métodos: Se delimitó la zona y se definieron rutas de colecta y reconocimiento de los tipos de vegetación. Se tomaron datos del tipo de comunidad vegetal y componentes, y se colectaron muestras botánicas. Finalmente se elaboró un mapa de vegetación y se enlistaron las especies con datos de forma de vida, nombre común y tipo de comunidad donde fueron localizadas.Resultados clave: Los resultados incluyen una lista florística de 753 especies, 491 géneros y 124 familias. Las familias mejor representadas son Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae y Malvaceae. Se reconocen ocho tipos de vegetación para el área: bosque tropical perennifolio, bosque tropical subcaducifolio, bosque de encino, palmar, vegetación acuática y subacuática, vegetación secundaria, comunidad de arvenses, y pastizal. Gran parte de la superficie es ocupada por huertos y campos agrícolas. La comunidad de malezas de áreas perturbadas es muy importante, en especial la de plantas arvenses, que es la que ocupa la mayor extensión en el área, seguida por el pastizal inducido y el bosque tropical subcaducifolio.Conclusiones: Se encontró que el área ha sido modificada fuertemente por actividades antrópicas; solo 8% de la superficie del municipio aún conserva la vegetación original.
