Taxonomic review and geographic distribution of Ephedra (Ephedraceae) in Mexico
This research seeks to determine the number of species of Ephedra in Mexico and their distributions in the national territory. Eight species of Ephedra are distributed in North and Central Mexico: Ephedra antisyphilitica, E. aspera, E. californica, E. compacta, E. nevadensis, E. pedunculata, E. torr...

| description | This research seeks to determine the number of species of Ephedra in Mexico and their distributions in the national territory. Eight species of Ephedra are distributed in North and Central Mexico: Ephedra antisyphilitica, E. aspera, E. californica, E. compacta, E. nevadensis, E. pedunculata, E. torreyana and E. trifurca. Ephedra compacta is the only species endemic to Mexico and the one with the most widely distribution over the country. A key, descriptions for each of the species, and distribution maps are presented. Ephedra species are found between 0 and 2800 m above sea level, mostly in xerophytic scrublands, grasslands, and thorn forests. |

El objetivo de este trabajo es dar conocer los representantes del género Ephedra en México y su distribución a nivel nacional. En el territorio de la República existen ocho especies de Ephedra en el norte y centro del país: Ephedra antisyphilitica, E. aspera, E. californica, E. compacta, E. nevadensis, E. pedunculata, E. torreyana y E. trifurca. Ephedra compacta es la única endémica de México y la de mayor distribución en su superficie. Se elaboró una clave, descripciones y mapas de repartición geográfica de las especies. Se encontró que las poblaciones de Ephedra en México se presentan entre los 0 y 2800 m de altitud, en matorral xerófilo, pastizal y bosque espinoso, principalmente.
