Abstract

CAMPOS-RIOS, Ma. Goreti. REVISIÓN DEL GÉNERO Bourreria P. Browne (Boraginaceae) EN MÉXICO. Polibotánica [online]. 2005, n.19, pp.39-103. ISSN 1405-2768.

Mexico is a major center of diversity of the genus Bourreria but the identity and taxonomic status of several species were still uncertain in the absence of revisions. The taxonomic account presented here is based on morphology. It relies on extensive field surveys of native populations and on the study of relevant herbarium material. Original descriptions, nomenclatural types, selected synonymy, distribution and habitat requirements are provided for each species. Comments and notes are added on various aspects of the species. Sixteen species of Bourreria occur in Mexico, endemic to a small area and six new species are proposed. A key to species, illustrations and distribution maps are also provided. In addition, to propose the lectotypification for three species.

Keywords : Mexico; taxonomy; Bourreria; Boraginaceae.
