| description | Background and Aims: Govenia purpusii is a species of the Orchidaceae family; it has a restricted distribution within subalpine forests of the states of Chiapas, Colima, Durango, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Veracruz and Zacatecas. The aim of this study was to describe the discovery of this species in La Malinche National Park, Tlaxcala to include it in the floristic inventory.Methods: A population of G. purpusii was identified in the field and collections were made. Through the comparison of botanical material collected with herbarium specimens, the species was determined considering vegetative and floral characters for its identification.Key results: The species was found in Quercus-Pinus vegetation at 2780 m altitude, sharing space with Selaginella sp., Oxalis sp., Peperomia sp. and Pinguicula moranensis.Conclusions: Monitoring this population is recommended due to the small distribution area in La Malinche National Park and the limited knowledge of this population, local extinction would represent a loss of genetic material for the species. This record should not be interpreted as a recent extension in its range, the presence within this area may be the result of forest fragmentation in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Govenia purpusii es una especie de la familia Orchidaceae, tiene una distribución restringida dentro de los bosques subalpinos de los estados de Chiapas, Colima, Durango, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, México, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Veracruz y Zacatecas. El propósito de este trabajo fue describir el hallazgo de esta especie presente en el Parque Nacional La Malinche, Tlaxcala, para incluirla en el inventario florístico. Métodos: Se identificó una población de G. purpusii en campo y se realizaron colectas. A través del cotejo de material botánico recolectado con ejemplares de herbario, se determinó la especie considerando caracteres vegetativos y florales para su identificación. Resultados clave: La especie se encontró en una vegetación de Quercus-Pinus a 2780 m de altitud; comparte el espacio con Selaginella sp., Oxalis sp., Peperomia sp. y Pinguicula moranensis. Conclusiones: Se recomienda monitorear esta población debido a la reducida área de distribución dentro del Parque Nacional La Malinche y al escaso conocimiento sobre orquídeas terrestres en la entidad. La extinción local representaría una pérdida de material genético para la especie. No se debe interpretar este registro como una ampliación reciente de área de distribución; la presencia dentro de esta zona puede ser el resultado de la fragmentación de los bosques en la Faja Neovolcánica Transmexicana.
