The vascular plants endemic in the state of Queretaro. I. Preliminary numerical analysis and definition of areas of concentration of the restricted-range species

The vascular flora of the state of Queretaro is now estimated in somewhat more than 4000 species. 1625 of these (among species and subspecific entities) have been critically treated in 174 published fascicles of the Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes. Out of these 1625 taxa, 588 (36.18%) are o...

description The vascular flora of the state of Queretaro is now estimated in somewhat more than 4000 species. 1625 of these (among species and subspecific entities) have been critically treated in 174 published fascicles of the Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes. Out of these 1625 taxa, 588 (36.18%) are of wide distribution. Out of the remaining 1037, 709 (43.63%) are only known from Mexico and 328 (20.18%) limit their distribution to Megamexico 1, Megamexico 2 and Megamexico 3; 45 (2.76%) species are endemic to the limits of the state of Queretaro: 26 (1.6%) are only known from the states of Queretaro and Hidalgo. The Sierra Madre Oriental, central Mexico, the Mexican High Plateau and the Volcanic Transversal Belt contribute respectively with 94 (5.78%), 92 (5.66%), 37 (2.27%) and 13 (0.8%) species of distribution restricted to their respective regions of Mexico. The following parts of Querétaro are identified as particularly diverse in species endemic to the state limits: a) the Queretaran part of Sierra Madre Oriental, b) the driest region of the state located in its central part, c) the deep canyon of Moctezuma river, d) the highest part of Zamorano peak.

Con bases firmes, la flora vascular del estado de Querétaro se estima en poco más de 4000 especies. De éstas 1625 (entre especies y entidades subespecíficas) se han inventariado en  forma crítica en 174 fascículos publicados de la Flora del Bajío y  de Regiones Adyacentes. De los 1625 taxa, 588 (36.18%) son de  distribución vasta. De los 1037 restantes, 709 (43.63%) sólo se  registran de México y 328 (20.18%) restringen su distribución a  Megaméxico 1, Megaméxico 2 y Megaméxico 3; 45 especies  (2.76%) son endémicas a los límites del estado de Querétaro; 26 (1.6%) no se conocen sino de Querétaro e Hidalgo. La Sierra  Madre Oriental, el centro de México, la Altiplanicie Mexicana y  el Eje Volcánico Transversal contribuyen respectivamente con 94  (5.78%), 92 (5.66%), 37 (2.27%) y 13 (0.8%) especies de  distribución limitada a las correspondientes regiones del  territorio de la República. Los siguientes sectores de Querétaro  se identifican como particularmente diversos en cuanto a  especies de repartición restringida al estado: a) porción  queretana de la Sierra Madre Oriental, b) la región más seca del  estado ubicada en el centro del mismo, c) el profundo  cañón del río Moctezuma, d) la parte alta del cerro Zamorano.
