Floristic and phytogeographical affinities of the vegetation in the municipality of San José Iturbide, Guanajuato, Mexico
A floristic study was carried out in the municipality of San José Iturbide, Guanajuato, located on the Mexican Plateau.

| description | A floristic study was carried out in the municipality of San José Iturbide, Guanajuato, located on the Mexican Plateau. The geographic distribution and ecological patterns of the vascular flora were analyzed. The studied area covers 538 km2. We recordered 661 species, belonging to 101 families and 301 genera. In this area two new records for the flora of Guanajuato were found, Osmunda regalis var.spectabilis and Anoda pentaschista. The floristic inventory represents around 70% of the taxa present in the zone. 41% of the species are endemic to Mexico, 114 are unique for Central Mexico, seven of these species are only distributed in areas situated near the municipality and one of them is endemic of it. The vascular flora of San José Iturbide shows geographical affinities with that of the semiarid scrubs of Central Mexico, and it shares many species with the arid climate vegetation of the Mexican Plateau. San José Iturbide contains 12% of the 5500 species estimated for the region of the project “Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes” and 22% for the state of Guanajuato. Therefore, the floristic richness of the area is considered high, taking into account its small area. |

Se realizó un estudio florístico y se establecieron los patrones de distribución geográfica y ecológica de las especies que conforman la flora vascular del municipio de San José Iturbide, Guanajuato. Este municipio se ubica en el Altiplano Mexicano. El área de estudio cubre una superficie de 538 km2. Se censaron 661 especies, incluidas en 361 géneros y 101 familias. Se encontraron dos nuevos registros para el estado de Guanajuato, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis y Anoda pentaschista. Se estimó que el inventario integra cerca de 70% de los taxa presentes en el área. El 41% de las especies son endémicas de México, 114 de ellas son propias del centro del país, siete de éstas solo se distribuyen en áreas cercanas al municipio y una es endémica del mismo. La flora vascular de la zona tiene afinidad con la de los matorrales xerófilos del centro de México, y comparte un gran número de especies con la vegetación de clima árido del Altiplano Mexicano. San José Iturbide contiene 12% de las 5500 especies estimadas para la región que abarca el proyecto “Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes”, y 22% de las calculadas para el estado de Guanajuato, por lo tanto, su riqueza florística es alta si se considera su pequeña superficie.
