Abstract

El Tepopote hill is located in the west extreme of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the confluence of the physiographic regions of the Canyons, Central Basins and Mountainous-Pacific slopes, at western Guadalajara, Jalisco. Oak-pine forest is the dominant vegetation type and the floristic list of the area includes 76 families, 214 genera and 370 species, with numerous endemisms, novelties for the region, and new species for the science. The diversity of its flora is higher than those at the La Primavera Flora and Fauna Protected Area and El Nixticuil-San Esteban-El Diente Hidrologic Protected Area, with which maintains high floristic and geologic similarities. The state of conservation of El Tepopote is discussed, based on environmental indexes derived from the floristic studies.
