| description | The floristics and structure of a cloud forest in Copalillos, San Luis Potosí, is presented. Until very recently, this forest was not recorded in the existing cartography. A total of 199 species, corresponding to 165 genera and 91 botanical families, were recorded. The forest structure consists of three arboreal layers (upper, middle and lower), besides shrub and herbaceous strata. The dominant species in the upper tree stratum are Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus germana and Q. pinnativenulosa. The main tree species of the middle level were Magnolia schiedeana, Persea liebmannii and Ilex rubra. The lower tree layer was largely dominated by Eugenia xalapensis. This relict represents an important link within the set of cloud forest areas located between Hidalgo and Tamaulipas. |

Se presenta la lista florística y se describe la estructura de un bosque de niebla en Copalillos, San Luis Potosí, el cual, hasta hace muy poco tiempo estuvo ausente en la cartografía de vegetación existente. Se registraron 199 especies, correspondientes a 165 géneros y 91 familias botánicas. La estructura vertical mostró tres estratos arbóreos, uno arbustivo y otro herbáceo. Las especies dominantes en el arbóreo superior fueron Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus germana y Q. pinnativenulosa. En el arbóreo intermedio destacaron Magnolia schiedeana, Persea liebmannii e Ilex rubra. El arbóreo inferior estuvo ampliamente dominado por Eugenia xalapensis. Este bosque de niebla relicto representa un eslabón importante dentro del conjunto de áreas de este tipo de vegetación situadas entre Hidalgo y Tamaulipas.
