| description | In the central area of the State of Chihuahua, 135 field trips for collecting almost 6500 plant specimens were made in six years. A herbaria and bibliographic review and a study of the flora of the plains and low hills was also carried out. We recorded 112 families, 493 genera, 1322 species, and 232 infraspecific taxa of vascular plants. Of the total families, 87 were dicotyledons, 15 monocotyledons, 7 ferns and allies, and 3 conifers and allies. The families with highest number of genera and species were: Asteraceae (86, 235), Poaceae (50, 163), Leguminosae (45, 137), Brassicaceae (16, 25), Malvaceae (12, 29), Scrophulariaceae (11, 29), Cactaceae (10, 30), Verbenaceae (10, 24), Nyctaginaceae (7, 21) and Amaranthaceae (7, 18). The genera with highest number of species were: Muhlenbergia (37), Dalea (22), Euphorbia (21), Cheilanthes (19), Brickellia (17), Salvia (15), Cyperus (14), Quercus (13), Solanum (12), Eragrostis (12), Bouteloua (12), Erigeron (12), Astragalus (11), Ipomoea (11), Plantago (10), Acacia (10), Machaeranthera (9), Stevia (9), Opuntia (9), Aristida (9), Asclepias (9), Phaseolus (9), Oenothera (9), Viguiera (9) and Notholaena (9).The present study is a contribution to the knowledge of plant diversity in the arid lands of northern Mexico. |

Se estudió la flora de las serranías y planicies de la porción central del estado de Chihuahua. Se realizaron 135 salidas de campo en un periodo de seis años, en los que se colectaron aproximadamente 6500 ejemplares botánicos, se recopiló la información bibliográfica sobre el tema y se revisó el material botánico de la región de estudio depositado en los herbarios ANSM, CFNL y TEX-LL. Se registró un total de 112 familias, 493 géneros, 1322 especies y 232 categorías infraespecíficas de plantas vasculares. Del total de familias, 87 corresponden a dicotiledóneas, 15 a monocotiledóneas, 7 a helechos y afines, y 3 a coníferas y afines. Las familias con mayor número de géneros y especies respectivamente son: Asteraceae (86, 235), Poaceae (50, 163), Leguminosae (45, 137), Brassicaceae (16, 25), Malvaceae (12, 29), Scrophulariaceae (11, 29), Cactaceae (10, 30), Verbenaceae (10, 24), Nyctaginaceae (7, 21) y Amaranthaceae (7, 18). Los géneros con mayor número de especies son Muhlenbergia (37), Dalea (22), Euphorbia (21), Cheilanthes (19), Brickellia (17), Salvia (15), Cyperus (14), Quercus (13), Solanum (12), Eragrostis (12), Bouteloua (12), Erigeron (12), Astragalus (11), Ipomoea (11), Plantago (10), Acacia (10), Machaeranthera (9), Stevia (9), Opuntia (9), Aristida (9), Asclepias (9), Phaseolus (9), Oenothera (9), Viguiera (9) y Notholaena (9). El presente estudio es una contribución hacia un mejor conocimiento de la diversidad vegetal que existe en las regiones áridas del norte de México.
