| Sažetak: | The available information on species used for live fences in Veracruz is insufficient. Because of this, the objective of this study was to produce an inventory of the species generally used. The study was based on field observations, interviews, collection of botanical material and consulting of herbarium vouchers, as well as the data base on floristic data for Veracruz. A list of 218 species of vascular plants was obtained as a result of this study. This is presented in alphabetical order of families. Common names, vegetation types and uses are also included. It is important to stress that 88% of the species reported present diverse categories of additional use: 62 species were reported as edible; 55 as medicinal; 45 as ornamental; 36 as fuel; 27 used in rural construction; 22 as timber; 13 as fodder; 6 for honey production and 42 assigned to other categories of use. The use of native species within this agroforestry practice as a contribution to the adequate use of the flora and local germoplasm conservation has been emphasized. |
