| description | The genus Abelia (Caprifoliaceae) includes a set of shrubby plants distributed in the montane temperate regions of eastern Asia and America. The genus is characterized by its persistent sepals, its funnelform or tubular corolla and its indehiscent trilocular capsule. In America all the species known for this genus are restricted to Mexico, and taxonomically they are included in the section Vesalea. A cladistic analysis, using 20 morphological, anatomical, and palynological characters was carried out to evaluate the monophyly of the section Vesalea. All the species of this section were included as the ingroup; in addition, 12 Asiatic abelias pertaining to other sections of the genus were included as outgroup and Kolkwitzia amabilis was used as the functional outgroup. The analysis supports the monophyly of section Vesalea, placed as the sister group of several species of section Abelia. The taxonomy of the Mexican taxa comprises five known species and two new proposed varieties: A. coriacea var. coriacea, A. coriacea var. subcoriacea Villarreal, A. floribunda var. floribunda, A. floribunda var. foliacea Villarreal A. grandifolia, A. mexicana and A. occidentalis. Important data on the geographical distribution and the environments where the species occur are provided, as well as descriptions for each one and a key to their identification. |

El género Abelia (Caprifoliaceae) comprende un grupo de plantas arbustivas distribuidas en las regiones templadas y montañosas del este de Asia y América. Se caracteriza por tener sépalos persistentes, corola infundibuliforme o tubular y fruto capsular trilocular indehiscente. En América sólo se conoce de nuestro país y todas las especies mexicanas forman parte de la sección Vesalea. La filogenia de este grupo fue evaluada mediante un análisis cladístico, utilizando veinte caracteres morfológicos, anatómicos y palinológicos. El estudio incluyó como conjunto interno a todas las especies conocidas de la sección, el externo formado por doce de las asiáticas pertenecientes a las otras secciones del género y como externo funcional a Kolkwitzia amabilis. El análisis apoya la monofília del grupo Vesalea, que está formando un clado hermano de algunas especies de la sección Abelia. La taxonomía de los representantes mexicanos del género comprende cinco especies conocidas y dos variedades que se proponen como nuevas: A. coriacea var. coriacea, A. coriacea var. subcoriacea Villarreal, A. floribunda var. floribunda, A. floribunda var. foliacea Villarreal, A. grandifolia, A. mexicana y A. occidentalis. Se proporciona información relevante sobre la distribución geográfica y los ambientes donde viven cada una de ellas, así como descripciones y una clave para su identificación.
