| description | A review of the information on the richness and distribution of the Mexican aquatic and wetland (herbaceous) monocots, is presented, for the purpose of contributing to a better understanding of the flora distributed in the wetlands of the national territory. Three hundred eighty one species (392 taxa) belonging to 104 genera and 28 families, considered as strict aquatics or wetland plants, were registered; as well as 114 tolerant or facultative hydrophytes of lacustrine and pond habitats. Half of the 28 families correspond to taxa considered by most botanists as terrestrial, but they represent a large component of the Mexican aquatic flora (71% of the genera and 75% of the species). The endemics make up 14% of the monocots. Their presence throughout a great diversity of habitats and its representation in several vegetation types and communities, make them one on the most diverse ecological and geographical components in the American continent. About 46% of the species belong to meridional elements, while 25% correspond to boreal one; while the Mexican element (13.9%) is equivalent to the sum of the cosmopolitan and introduced species. |

Se presenta la revisión de la información sobre la riqueza y distribución de las monocotiledóneas acuáticas y subacuáticas (herbáceas) de México, con el fin de contribuir al mejor conocimiento de la flora de los humedales distribuidos en el territorio nacional. Se registraron 381 especies (392 taxa) pertenecientes a 104 géneros y 28 familias, referentes a las categorías de acuáticas estrictas y subacuáticas. Adicionalmente se documentaron 114 hidrófitas tolerantes o facultativas del hábitat palustre y lacustre. La mitad de las familias corresponden a taxa que la mayoría de los botánicos ubicarían como terrestres, pero con una representación significativa en el conjunto de plantas acuáticas mexicanas (71% de géneros y 75% de especies). El elemento endémico representa 14% del total de las monocotiledóneas. Su existencia en una gran variedad de hábitats y la representación en numerosos tipos de vegetación y comunidades, las colocan entre los elementos ecológicos y geográficos más diversos en el continente americano. En lo referente a las afinidades geográficas, encontramos que el componente meridional (46%) supera por casi el doble al boreal (25%), mientras que el elemento mexicano (13.9%) es equivalente a la suma del cosmopolita y de las especies introducidas.
