Resumen:

This chapter analyzes the diversity and biogeography of lianas in Mexico. Using an exhaustive bibliographic review, as well as herbarium and field studies, the authors recorded a total of 754 liana species, belonging to 214 genera and 55 families within Mexico. The authors used three sources of information for the inclusion of a species as a liana: (1) classification as a liana in the floristic and taxonomic literature; (2) consultation of specimens deposited in the herbaria IBUG, IEB, MEXU, MO, and XAL; and (3) observations from fieldwork conducted in different regions and vegetation types of Mexico. Nearly one-quarter (185) of all liana species are endemic to Mexico. Endemic species are found in 69 genera and 25 families. The authors examined the presence or absence of species at the state level and found that there are five groups, at a linkage distance of 20, that show high geographical congruence. © 2015 by JohnWiley & Sons, Ltd.
