We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies, Tribal agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as, the need to address other priorities. Costs indicated for action implementation and time of recovery are estimates and subject to change. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific actions, and may not represent the views or the official positions of any individuals or agencies involved in recovery plan formulation, other than the Service. Recovery plans represent the Service’s official position only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Recovery plans are released for public comment and submitted to peer review before we adopt them as approved final documents. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

Los patrones de variación morfológica del género se han interpretado de distintas formas y han conducido a una taxonomía inestable, de manera que aún no se ha establecido un consenso en la delimitación de las especies. Clasificaciones previas de Coryphantha se han basado en caracteres cualitativos. Para dilucidar y circunscribir especies de Coryphantha se emplearon diferentes técnicas de análisis multivariado. Se muestrearon un total de 1840 individuos, 467 ejemplares en campo y 1373 registros herborizados de 48 taxa del género. Se emplearon 28 caracteres vegetativos y reproductivos de los cuales 17 fueron cuantitativos y 11 cualitativos. El análisis de conglomerados indicó la presencia de dos grandes grupos organizados por la presencia o ausencia de glándulas extraflorales. Los análisis discriminantes para cada subgrupo formado por los análisis de conglomerados permitieron circunscribir con base en variables morfométricas a la mayoría de las especies analizadas. Con base en los caracteres morfológicos y los análisis multivariados se discute el reconocimiento de categorías taxonómicas a nivel de especie o subespecie. Se reconocen 45 especies y tres subespecies. Palabras clave: análisis de conglomerados, análisis discriminante, Cactaceae, Coryphantha, taxonomía. ABSTRACT Coryphantha consists of 43 to 67 species.

Additionally, geographical distribution, endemism and conservation status of the species were analyzed based on a compiled data matrix with 2326 georeferenced records. Cactaceae comprises 137 species and 29 genera in Durango, which represent a high proportion of the Mexican cactus flora: 46−58% at the generic level and 20−23% at the specific level. The estimated richness according to Chao-2 and Jackknife-1 is 143 and 151 species respectively, which means that the inventory we present here for the Cactaceae of Durango is complete in 91 to 96%. Since no herbarium specimens nor registers in reliable data bases were found to support their presence in the area, 46 taxa were excluded; even so, this inventory increases by 30% the cacti richness previously reported for Durango and provides new information on the distribution range of many species.

    Phenetic Analysis of Coryphantha, Section Robustispina (Cactaceae), Part 1: Stem Characters

    Phenetic analysis of Coryphantha, section Robustispina (Cactaceae), part 1: stem characters. Final report Marc Baker Arizona State University Main Campus College of Liberal Arts and Sciences School of Life Sciences PO Box 874501 Tempe, Arizona 85287-4501 4 June 2004 Prepared for U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service under contract with the Arizona Board of Regents, University of Arizona, Tucson Abstract A preliminary phenetic analysis was done to evaluate the taxonomic relationships within Coryphantha, section Robustispina, which includes C. robustispina ssp. robustispina, C. robustispina ssp. uncinata, C. robustispina ssp. scheeri, and C. poselgeriana. ANOVA, PCA, and DA procedures were performed on ten continuous stem characters for 14 populations and 447 individuals. Of primary concern was the taxonomic validity of the subspecific taxa within C. robustispina, with C. poselgeriana serving as out-group comparison. Data indicated that populations of C. robustispina ssp. scheeri represent a separate taxon and possibly a distinct species. Populations of both C. robustispina ssp. uncinata and C. robustispina ssp. robustispina are morphologically coherent within their respective taxa and are allopatric between the two taxa, thus indicating that they deserve taxonomic recognition. Individuals of C. poselgeriana were morphologically discrete from those of C. robustispina. Introduction The purpose of the on-going study is to ascertain whether any of the known populations of Coryphantha robustispina are morphologically distinct from one another and whether any such distinction, if significant, reflects geographical range. This information is important for the assessment of the taxonomy of the species. Nomenclature within Coryphantha (Engelm.) Lemaire, section Robustispina Dicht & A. Lüüthy is confusing. A comparison of various taxonomic treatments is given in Table 1.
