Additions to the Bromeliaceae family in Veracruz, Mexico
Background and Aims: The Bromeliaceae family in Mexico is made up of 422 species, of which 96(22.7%) are found in Veracruz. Ten of these species are endemic to the state. The objective of this study was to identify and report the bromeliad species that had not been recorded in the entity. Methods: B...

| description | Background and Aims: The Bromeliaceae family in Mexico is made up of 422 species, of which 96(22.7%) are found in Veracruz. Ten of these species are endemic to the state. The objective of this study was to identify and report the bromeliad species that had not been recorded in the entity.
Methods: Botanical expeditions were carried out in different regions of the state of Veracruz as part of the research of two doctoral theses. Additionally, collections of Bromeliaceae in the herbaria CORU and XAL were revised.
Key results: We documented new state records for Veracruz of two species of the genus Tillandsia (T. bourgaei y T. roseoscapa) and one species of Pitcairnia (P. xanthocalyx). Another species (Tillandsia prodigiosa) represents a rediscovery for the state´s flora. Finally, information regarding distribution and habitat, as well as photographs of each species, are presented.
Conclusions: The results obtained, together with other new previously reported records, confirm that the central zone of Veracruz state, especially the Córdoba-Orizaba-Zongolica zone, had remained, until recently, poorly studied from the floristic point of view, highlighting the importance of xerophytic vegetation present in the area, where species occur that are shared with the flora of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán valley. The same applies to the northern portion of the state, in the Totonacapan region, which has received little attention from Mexican botanists. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: La familia Bromeliaceae en México está integrada por 422 especies, de las cuales en Veracruz se encuentran 96(22.7%); diez de ellas son endémicas al estado. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar y reportar las especies de bromeliáceas que no se habían registrado previamente para la entidad. Métodos: Se realizaron exploraciones botánicas en diferentes regiones del estado de Veracruz como parte de la investigación de dos tesis doctorales. Adicionalmente se revisaron las colecciones de Bromeliaceae en los herbarios CORU y XAL. Resultados clave: Se documentan nuevos registros para el estado de Veracruz de dos especies del género Tillandsia (T. bourgaei y T. roseoscapa) y de una especie del género Pitcairnia (P. xanthocalyx). Una especie más (Tillandsia prodigiosa) representa un redescubrimiento para la flora estatal. Finalmente, se presenta información sobre la distribución y el hábitat, así como fotografías de cada una las especies. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos, en conjunto con otros nuevos registros reportados previamente, confirman que la zona centro del estado de Veracruz, especialmente la zona Córdoba-Orizaba-Zongolica había permanecido, hasta hace poco, pobremente estudiada desde el punto de vista florístico. Resalta la importancia de la vegetación xerófila presente en el área, en la cual habitan especies que se comparten con la flora del Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán. Lo mismo aplica para la porción norte del estado, en la región del Totonacapan, la cual también ha recibido escasa atención de los botánicos mexicanos.
