Resumen:
Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial,
self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m, without
considering ascending leaves or inflorescences, and with 1 or several
erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. In this third
contribution of the taxonomic compilation of Mexico's native tree
species, 271 species are presented: 27 in the family Apocynaceae (26%
endemic), 63 in the Cactaceae (79%), 17 in the Ebenaceae (35%), 123 in
the Fagaceae (60%), and 41 in the Sapotaceae (22%). Several cactus
genera are endemic to Mexico, notably Neobuxbaumia with 10 species and
heights up to 22 m. The oak genus Quercus with 122 species is the most
species-rich genus of Mexican trees. Several species are reported to
reach heights of 60 m (Aspidosperma desmanthum, Quercus benthamii, Q.
corrugata, and Manilkara chicle). All species are listed in an appendix,
including the original publication, references of taxonomic revisions,
in some cases synonyms, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum
height in Mexico, and the indication if the species is endemic to
Mexico. (C) 2016 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Institute de
