ABSTRACT

A fl oristic analysis of a fi r forest and the adjacent cloud forest located at western Jalisco was made. We obtained a list of vascular plants consisting of 80 families, 195 genera and 290 species, with a fl oristic diversity index of 210.33 species/km 2 , which is high when compared to other similar forested areas. The most diverse families in number of species are Asteraceae (46), Fabaceae (22) and Orchidaceae (18). This plant community is very similar to those described for fi r forests in Nueva Galicia and the cloud forests from the Transmexican Volcanic Belt. There are fi ve species in some risk category within the Norma Ofi cial Mexicana NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 (Abies fl inckii, Comarostaphylis discolor subsp. discolor, Juglans major var. glabrata, Ostrya virginiana y Tilia americana var. mexicana). Patches of Abies fl inckii are proposed as a conservation area due to its relictual condition.
