| description | Background and Aims: The species Ulex europaeus (Fabaceae, Faboideae) has been listed as one of the 100 most harmful invasive species worldwide. It is native to western Europe and northwestern Africa, and has become naturalized throughout Europe and the Middle East. Its environmental and economic impact in America is documented in Canada, Chile, Colombia and the United States of America. It is found at different altitudes and in vegetation types. This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of the distribution of Ulex europaeus in the Mexican territory, as a basis for immediate actions regarding its control and eradication.
Methods: Botanical material was collected in the temperate forest of the community of Tres Marías, municipality Huitzilac, in the state of Morelos, Mexico. Dichotomous keys and botanical descriptions were used for taxonomic determination. An exhaustive review of specialized literature was carried out, images were consulted, and data were obtained from virtual herbaria around the world, and the herbaria MEXU and UAMIZ were visited for consultation. The field work in the state of Morelos was supported by ArcGIS projections. The collected material is deposited in the collection of the herbarium HUMO of the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos.
Key results: The authors register for the first time, by means of botanical collections, the presence of U. europaeus in Mexico. Supported by field trips and the review of various sources of information, so far only a population of 63 individuals of this species has been found. The phenology of the species coincides with that reported for other latitudes
Conclusions: This record broadens the distribution range of U. europaeus. The presence of this species adds to the real and potential factors that are affecting the biodiversity of our country. It is necessary to establish strategies, control actions and eventual eradication of this invasive species. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: La especie Ulex europaeus (Fabaceae, Faboideae) ha sido catalogada como una de las 100 especies invasoras más dañinas a nivel mundial. Es originaria del oeste de Europa y noroeste de África y se ha naturalizado en toda Europa y el Medio Oriente. Su impacto ambiental y económico en América está documentado en Canadá, Chile, Colombia y los Estados Unidos de América. Se encuentra en diferentes altitudes y tipos de vegetación. Con este estudio se busca contribuir al conocimiento de la distribución de Ulex europaeus en el territorio mexicano, como una base para acciones inmediatas respecto a su control y erradicación. Métodos: Se colectó material botánico en el bosque templado de la comunidad de Tres Marías, municipio Huitzilac, en el estado de Morelos, México. Para la determinación taxonómica se utilizaron claves dicotómicas y descripciones botánicas. Se realizó una revisión exhaustiva de literatura especializada, se consultaron imágenes, se obtuvieron datos de herbarios virtuales del mundo y se visitaron, para su consulta, los herbarios MEXU y UAMIZ. Los recorridos de campo en el estado de Morelos se apoyaron con proyecciones de ArcGIS. El material colectado está depositado en la colección del herbario HUMO de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos. Resultados clave: Los autores registran por primera vez mediante colectas botánicas la presencia de U. europaeus en México. Apoyándose en recorridos en campo y la revisión de varias fuentes de información, hasta el momento solo se ha encontrado una población de 63 individuos de esta especie. La fenología de la especie coincide con lo reportado para otras latitudes. Conclusiones: Este registro amplía el rango de distribución de U. europaeus. La presencia de esta especie se suma a los factores reales y potenciales que están afectando a la biodiversidad de nuestro país. Es necesario establecer estrategias, acciones de control y eventual erradicación de esta especie invasora.
