          Abstract

          Abstract Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants at least 5 m tall, without considering ascending leaves or inflorescences, and with 1 or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. In this fourth contribution of the taxonomic compilation of Mexico’s native tree species, 178 species are presented: 134 in the family Euphorbiaceae (53% endemic), 1 in the Peraceae (not endemic), 12 in the Phyllanthaceae (none endemic), 1 in the Picrodendraceae (endemic), 3 in the Putranjivaceae (1 endemic), and 27 in the Urticaceae (7% endemic). The tallest tree species are Tetrorchidium rotundatum (Euphorbiaceae) reaching 45 m, and Hieronyma alchorneoides (Phyllanthaceae) being over 40 m, as reported on herbarium labels or in the literature. All species are listed in an appendix that includes the original publication, references of taxonomic revisions or floristic treatments, in some cases synonyms, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and an indication if the species is endemic to Mexico. Enriquebeltrania (Euphorbiaceae) is the only endemic genus in these families.

          Resumen Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm. En esta cuarta contribución de la recopilación de las especies arbóreas nativas de México, se presentan 178 especies: 134 en la familia Euphorbiaceae (53% endémicas), 1 de Peraceae (no endémica), 12 de Phyllanthaceae (ninguna endémica), 1 de Picrodendraceae (endémica), 3 de Putranjivaceae (1 endémica) y 27 de Urticaceae (7% endémicas). Las especies arbóreas con mayor altura son Tetrorchidium rotundatum (Euphorbiaceae) con 45 m y Hieronyma alchorneoides (Phyllanthaceae) con más de 40 m, reportadas en etiquetas de herbario o en la literatura. Todas las especies se enlistan en un apéndice que incluye el nombre científico, los datos de su publicación original, referencias de revisiones taxonómicas, en algunos casos sinónimos, la existencia de subespecies o variedades, la altura máxima en México y la indicación de si la especie es endémica de México. Enriquebeltrania (Euphorbiaceae) es el único género endémico en estas familias.

            Checklist of the native vascular plants of Mexico

            Abstract: An updated inventory of the native vascular plants of Mexico records 23,314 species, distributed in 2,854 genera, 297 families, and 73 orders. The flora includes 1,039 species of ferns and lycophytes, 149 gymnosperms, and 22,126 angiosperms. On average, the number of synonyms per species is 1.3 (mode = 1). The number of species places Mexico as the country with the fourth largest floristic richness in the world, although among the non-insular countries, by its number of endemic species (about 50%) is second only surpassed by South Africa. The species distribution among higher taxonomic categories, and the richness and endemism values in the 32 states of Mexico are discussed. This compilation allows us to assess the flora's contribution to the overall Mexican biodiversity.
