Mexican Libraries; Mexican Archives: Mexican Museums; Mexico; Library History; Libraries in Developing Countries ABSTRACT This paper offers a general introduction to the different types of Mexican libraries, museums and archives, with an emphasis on libraries and related subjects such as serials, book production, and library schools. Literature was consulted and direct data was gathered from websites and through telephone interviews of knowledgeable library professionals. Data used in this essay is not all recent. Therefore it is used mainly as an indicator of the general status of Mexican information development. *Data gathering assistance: Sergio Gómez-Vinales, and Jacobo Osuna GENERAL BACKGROUND Mexico is a large country, whose official name is Mexican United States, a federal constitutional republic. It is politically divided into 31 states and a Federal District (Mexico City). Its government is presidential with a constitutionally strong Congress and a supreme court. The president is elected for a non-renewable six-year term and appoints the cabinet. The country’s legislature is based on a bicameral Congress: 128-member Senate, and a 500-member Chamber of Deputies, elected for a three-year term.(1).

  • Cucurbitaceaehavingbrightlycolored Flowersandbutter- Rpcl Vines
    Systematic Botany (2010), 35(2): pp. 341–357 © Copyright 2010 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Taxonomic Revision of the Neotropical Genus Psiguria (Cucurbitaceae) P. Roxanne Steele Section of Integrative Biology, The University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station C0930, Austin, Texas 78712 U. S. A. Current address: University of Missouri-Columbia, 1201 Rollins St.-Bond LSC311, Columbia, Missouri 65211 U. S. A. ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Andrea Schwarzbach Abstract— Psiguria is a genus of lianas found throughout the Neotropics from sea level to 2,100 m, in dry or wet forests, in both light gaps and shade. Psiguria and its sister genera, Gurania and Helmontia , are unique among Cucurbitaceae having brightly colored flowers and butter- fly and hummingbird pollinators. Historically, taxonomic revisions have described as many as 29 species, but this number has been inflated by misleading characteristics such as variable leaf and flower morphology. A thorough morphological investigation of 758 herbarium speci- mens and individuals from both greenhouse and natural settings, combined with a recent molecular phylogeny, supports the delineation of six species. In this revision, a review of over 35 yr of publications addressing ecological and natural history studies focusing on Psiguria is pre- sented. A description and a distribution map of each species is provided along with two taxonomic keys: one that utilizes male flowers, and another that incorporates leaf characteristics and geographic distribution but uniquely identifies species according to DNA barcodes. With a list of characters that distinguish all pairs of geographically overlapping species, botanists and ecologists finally have the tools to confidently identify species of Psiguria .
