Abstract

Eleven Jatropha species are reported for
Puebla representing 24% of diversity in
Mexico. All of them are distributed mainly
in Cuenca del Balsas and Tehuacan-Cuica tlan Valley. The types of vegetation with
more species are the tropical deciduous
forest and xerophytic scrub. The presence
of J. elbae J. Jiménez Ram., J. oaxacana J.
Jiménez Ram. & R. Torres, J. pseudocurcas
Müll. Arg. and J. websteri J. Jiménez Ram.
is reported for the first time in the state.
We highlight the probable disappearance
of two Puebla endemic species, J. riojae
Miranda and J. rufescens Brandegee.
