Abstract
Euphorbiaceae genera contribute significantly to the wealth of mexican flora diversity; it is estimated that in Mexico the family is represented by 43 genera and 782 species, representing more than 3% of the vascular flora. This document is a compendium of methodological evidence with graphic descriptions of the characteristics of the variety with the objective of registering it as a variety of Jatropha curcas L.; adapted to the region of Morelos San Isidro. This allowed us to define the characteristics of seeds, leaves other parts of the plant and oil yields that allowed to qualify the cultivation of the variety "sevangel" as: different from others, homogeneous, and stable. In order to exploit it commercially. Jatropha curcas L. of the "sevangel" variety was propagated by seed (sexual) or by stake (asexual) and it was cultivated in five localities from Morelos for six months and despite the different climate, temperature, and precipitation conditions, was obtained the same oil yields. The description of characteristics of Jatropha curcas L. of the "sevangel" variety propagated from cuttings (vegetatively) and by self-fertilization in five generations per seed, guaranteed phenotypic expression guaranteed the genetic identity and distinction of the non-toxic variety for its use as a source of oil for bioenergy.
