Flora and vegetation from the semiarid region of Acultzingo-Maltrata, Veracruz, Mexico
Background and Aims: In the central area of the state of Veracruz there is a semi-arid region, located mainly in the municipalities Acultzingo and Maltrata, within the Cañón del Río Blanco National Park. This region had remained unexplored from the botanical point of view and had therefore not been...

| description | Background and Aims: In the central area of the state of Veracruz there is a semi-arid region, located mainly in the municipalities Acultzingo and Maltrata, within the Cañón del Río Blanco National Park. This region had remained unexplored from the botanical point of view and had therefore not been recorded by botanical literature. The aim of this research is to contribute to the knowledge of flora and vegetation of this region, through a floristic analisis and a description of its plant communities.Methods: Periodic collections of plants from August 2012 to July 2014 were undertaken. Additionally, the CORU and MEXU herbaria were reviewed, as well as the Flora of Veracruz series, to obtain historical records in the study area. In order to determine the taxa shared between this semiarid region and the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley, a presence-absence matrix and a table summarizing the shared taxa were elaborated.Key results: Six hundred and four voucher specimens were collected, 45 records from CORU, 280 from MEXU and 80 from the review of the Flora of Veracruz series were obtained, resulting in a total of 1009 records. These data corresponded to 87 families, 247 genera and 390 taxa. The best-represented families are Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Apocynaceae, Cactaceae, Asparagaceae, Boraginaceae, Bromeliaceae, Orchidaceae and Verbenaceae. Thirty-three species were considered as new records for the state of Veracruz and 43 have a threat status in terms of national and international laws. Three different vegetal associations conforming the xerophytic scrub are extensively described.Conclusions: There are 63 species shared between the study area and the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán valley, thereby confirming the floristic relationships between these two large semi-arid regions; hence, we propose the name “Acultzingo-Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley”, covering the states of Veracruz, Puebla and Oaxaca. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: En la porción central del estado de Veracruz existe una región semiárida, en los municipios Acultzingo y Maltrata, que forma parte del Parque Nacional Cañón del Río Blanco. Esa zona había permanecido inexplorada desde el punto de vista botánico, por lo que no estaba registrada en la literatura contemporánea. El objetivo de esta investigación es contribuir al conocimiento de la flora y vegetación de esta región, a través de un análisis florístico y una descripción de las comunidades vegetales.Métodos: Se realizaron colectas periódicas de la flora entre agosto 2012 y julio 2014. Se revisaron los herbarios CORU y MEXU, así como la serie Flora de Veracruz para obtener los registros históricos en el área de estudio. Para determinar los taxones compartidos entre esta región semiárida y el Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, se realizó una matriz de presencia-ausencia y se elaboró un cuadro que los resume.Resultados clave: En total se colectaron 604 especímenes de herbario, se obtuvieron 45 registros de la revisión de CORU, 280 de MEXU y 80 de la revisión de la serie Flora de Veracruz, para un total de 1009 registros. Estos registros comprenden 87 familias, 248 géneros y 390 taxones; las familias mejor representadas son Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Apocynaceae, Cactaceae, Asparagaceae, Boraginaceae, Bromeliaceae, Orchidaceae y Verbenaceae. Se reportan 33 especies como nuevos registros para Veracruz y 43 especies incluidas en categorías de riesgo según normas nacionales e internacionales. Se describen tres asociaciones vegetales que integran al matorral xerófilo de esta área.Conclusiones: Existen 63 especies compartidas entre la región semiárida de Acultzingo-Maltrata y el Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, confirmándose así las relaciones florísticas entre estas dos grandes regiones, por lo que se propone se denomine “Valle de Acultzingo-Tehuacán-Cuicatlán”, abarcando los estados de Veracruz, Puebla y Oaxaca.
