2000 23 26-30 Thomas B. Croat, M. A. PÃ©rez-Farrera A new record of Anthurium sarukhanianum (Araceae) to Chiapas (Buy)
ABSTRACT: Antburium sarukhanianum Croat & Haager is recorded for Chiapas, Mexico. It is most closely related to A. balmoorei from west central Mexico but is similar to A. schlechtendalii. It differs from the former principally in the shape of its spadix and the petiole cross-sectional shape. It differs from A. scblecbtendalii by the shape of the spadix and spathe, by berry color and by the shape of the petiole and apex of blade. The record of A. sarukbanianum in Chiapas constitutes a considerable range extension from the only site previously known in the state of Guerrero in west central Mexico. Fruit color is reported for the A. sarukbanianum for the first time. The species produces yellow-orange berries similar to the yellow berries of A. balmoorei; another species in section Pacbyneurium from western Mexico.

2003 26 10-15 E. Melendez-Lopez, M. A. PÃ©rez-Farrera, Thomas B. Croat Additional notes on Anthurium rionegrense Matuda: Morphology (Buy)
ABSTRACT: The type locality of Anthurium rionegrense is rediscovered and additional information about its morphology, habitat and distribution is presented. This species is a rupiculous plant with a large branched stem. It ranges from 500 to 650 m elevation, occurring in deciduous and semideciduous tropical forests near the borders of the Mexican states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. A new collection locality is also presented.

2005 28 154-165 M. A. PÃ©rez-Farrera Araceae of Chiapas State (Buy)
ABSTRACT: A comparative analysis of richness patterns by physiographic regions and a list of Araceae of Chiapas is presented based on a 6-year field study and a review of herbarium material. Eleven genera and seventy-nine species of Araceae were recorded for Chiapas, of which fifteen species are endemic to Chiapas. The genera Anthurium and Philodendron were the major components in the family. The Sierra Madre de Chiapas, the Northern Highlands and the Eastern Highlands were the richest regions for Araceae with 53, 44 and 36 species respectively with the richness apparently correlated with the broad range of elevation and climate exhibited in these regions. The Pacific and Gulf Coastal Plains as well as the Central Depression of Chiapas are regions which are less diverse with 18, 3 and 15 species respectively. Using Jaccard's Index, the Northern Highland and Eastern Highland region were found to be more similar (0.54) while Gulf Coastal Plain, Sierra Madre and Central Plateau were regions less similar in species composition (0.05).
