Fitogeografía De La Península De Baja California, México FITOGEOGRAFÍA DE LA PENÍNSULA DE BAJA CALD7QRNIA, MÉXICO por MANUEL PEINADO *, FRANCISCO ALCARAZ**, JOSÉ DELGADILLO*** & INMACULADA AGUADO* Resumen PEINADO, M., F. ALCARAZ, J. DELGADÜXO & I. AGUADO (1994). Fitogeografía de la península de Baja California, México. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 51(2): 255-277. Se realiza una propuesta de división fitogeográfica de la península de Baja California (Méxi­ co), utilizando criterios bioclimáticos, florísticos, fitosociológicos y fisiográficos. Los territo­ rios de Baja California se reparten entre dos reinos (Holártico y Neotropical), dos regiones (Ca- liforniana y Xerofítico-Mexicana), cinco provincias (Californiano-Meridional, Martirense, Bajocaliforniana, Colorada y Sanlucana) y ocho sectores fitogeográficos (Diegano, Juarezen- se, Martirense, Vizcaíno, Magdalenense, Angelino-Loretano, Sanfelipense y Sanlucano). Para cada una de estas unidades fitogeográficas se aportan datos climáticos, fisiográficos y fitoso­ ciológicos, así como listas sobre el componente endémico vascular de provincias y sectores. Palabras clave: Fitogeografía, análisis de flora, endemismos, Baja California. Abstract PEINADO, M., F. ALCARAZ, J. DELGADILLO & I. AGUADO (1994). Phytogeography of the Baja California peni.is la, México. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 51(2): 255-277 (in Spanish). Bioclimatic, floristic, phytosociological and physiographical data have been employed to pro­ pose a phytogeographical división of the Baja California península. The Baja California terri- tories are classified into two kingdoms (Holarctic and Neotropical), two regions (Californiana and Xerofítico-Mexicana), five provinces (Californiano-Meridional, Martirense, Bajocalifor­ niana, Colorada and Sanlucana) and eight phytogeographical sectors (Diegano, Juarezense, Martirense, Vizcaíno, Magdalenense, Angelino-Loretano, Sanfelipense and Sanlucano). For each phytogeographical group, data are provided regarding geographical limits, plant commu- nities, and lists of vascular plants. Key words: Phytogeography, floristic analysis, endemism, Baja California. INTRODUCCIÓN mente reinos, regiones o provincias o, más re­ cientemente, eco-regiones (BAILEY, 1991).

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

The Sierra de La Giganta is a semi-arid region in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Traditionally, this area has been excluded as a sector of the Sonoran Desert and has been more often lumped with the dry-tropical Cape Region of southern Baja California peninsula, but this classical concept of the vegetation has not previously been analyzed using formal documentation.

The low number of species observed on the BLM lands reflects relatively small acreage of the gen-tie corridor area. An additional 11 species were observed on the private lands during the vegetation mapping of those areas.
