THE TREE FLORA COMPOSITION IN THE PNA (PROTECTED NATURAL AREA) TENANCINGO-MALINALCO-ZUMPAHUACÁN, STATE OF MEXICO, MEXICO

Abstract

The floristic study of trees was carried
out in the Protected Natural Area (PNA)
Tenancingo-Malinalco-Zumpahuacan. The
identified specimens comprise 304 species,
165 genera and 72 families. The most representative families are Leguminosae with
58 species (Fabaceae 15, Mimosaceae 35
and Caesalpiniaceae 8), Fagaceae with 23,
Burseraceae with 19 and Moraceae with 14;
of wich 242 are native, 20 non native and
42 endemic. We identified six distinct types
of vegetation: tropical deciduous forest,
tropical subdeciduous forest, montane mesophytic forest, oak forest, pine-oak forest and
gallery forest. In addition, we detailed 73
new species reports for the State of Mexico.
The most species richness occurred in the
tropical deciduous forest (170) and gallery
forest (104).
