description In the Nizanda region, a botanically little known area located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Juchitan District, Oaxaca (southern Mexico), the main plant communities were characterized, and a floristic inventory was prepared on the basis of our own collected material. Landscape heterogeneity in Nizanda determines the existence of seven vegetation types: gallery forest, thorn scrub, xeric scrub, savanna, dry tropical forest, semievergreen and semideciduous tropical forest, and aquatic and subaquatic vegetation. The floristic list includes a total of 746 species of vascular plants, distributed in 458 genera and 119 families. The 1,435 collection records were fed into a relational database, which allowed us to determine for each species the vegetation types where it was found. General vegetation patterns are discussed, together with their possible causes, as well as the relevance of the flora of Nizanda at the regional level.

En la región de Nizanda, área botánicamente poco conocida del Istmo de Tehuantepec, Distrito de Juchitán (Oaxaca), se realizó una caracterización general de las principales comunidades vegetales y se elaboró un inventario de la flora basado en colectas originales. La heterogeneidad del paisaje determina la existencia de siete tipos de vegetación: bosque de galería, matorral espinoso, matorral xerófilo, sabana, selva baja caducifolia, selva mediana (con dos variantes, subcaducifolia y subperennifolia), y vegetación acuática y subacuática. La lista florística incluye 746 especies, 458 géneros y 119 familias de plantas vasculares. La información de las 1,435 colectas realizadas fue incorporada a una base de datos relacional, lo cual permitió especificar la distribución de las especies en los tipos de vegetación. Se discuten de manera general los patrones de la vegetación, sus posibles causas y la importancia de la flora de Nizanda a nivel regional.
