Resumen:
This study evaluates the species richness of vascular plants in the
municipality of Guadalcazar, San Luis Potosi, an area located in the
Central Mexican Plateau physiographic province, where a significant
portion of their surface has been declared as a natural protected area.
A total of 813 vascular plant species were registered in 5 vegetation
types: submontane scrub, xerophytic scrub, oak forest, pine forest and
grassland, with thesubmontane scrub being the vegetation type holding
the highest floristic richness, predominantly Asteraceae. An analysis of
the species distributionpattern revealed that 299 of them (36.8%) are
Mexican endemics, most of them belonging to the Cactaceae. Considering
the conservation statusof the species, 123 (15.1%) are threatened, most
of them also Cactaceae. A group of 160 of the total species (19.7%) had
a record of some use inthe study area. (C) 2017 Universidad Nacional
