  • Abstract Patrones De Diversidad De Geofitas
    MANUEL CUÉLLAR-MARTÍNEZ AND VICTORIA SOSA* Botanical Sciences 94 (4): 687-699, 2016 Abstract Background: Geophytes, plants with underground perennating organs that lose their aerial organs annually, are able to sur- DOI: 10.17129/botsci.763 vive in harsh habitats. This life form is common in the monocots that inhabit Mediterranean climates around the world. In Mexico only the northern area of Baja California has this type of climate. Hypothesis: In this study, we recorded the species and distribution of Mexican geophyte monocots to pinpoint diversity hot- spots. Our hypothesis is that the highest diversity of geophytes will be found in biogeographic areas with complex topography and seasonal climate not only in the north of the Baja California Peninsula. Data description: Records of geophytes were taken from different sources, collections, taxonomic references and diversity databases. Geophyte locations were mapped in the context of biogeographic and protected areas. Climate preferences were estimated using bioclimatic variables and by a Principal Component Analysis we identified the most significant variables explaining distribution of geophytes. Results: The Mexican geophyte flora is composed of 476 species, approximately 10 % of the total diversity of monocots. Echeandia and Tigridia were the two most diverse genera. This flora is dominated by the taxa of Orchidaceae, Asparagaceae and Iridaceae, and ten small endemic genera were recorded. Geophyte diversity was highest in two biogeographic provinces: the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Sierra Madre del Sur, in dry forests such as oak-pine, seasonally dry tropical forests and semi-arid shrubby vegetation. Three bioclimatic variables: temperature seasonality, annual precipitation and precipitation of the wettest quarter resulted significant for understanding distribution of geophytes.

The species has morphological features similar to those of species in the Vanilla planifolia group. It is an impor- tant addition to the vanilla crop wild relatives, bringing the total number of species in the V. planifolia group to 21. Vanilla denshikoira is a narrow endemic, known from only a single locality, and highly vulnerable to anthropological disturbance. Under IUCN criteria it is categorized CR. The species has potential value as a non-timber forest product. We recommend a conservation program that includes support for circa situm actions implemented by the local communities. Introduction The natural vanilla flavour is derived from the cured seedpods of orchid species in the genus Vanilla Plumier ex Miller (1754: without page number). Vanilla is one of the most economically important crops for low-elevation humid tropical and sub-tropical regions, and global demand for this natural product is increasing.
