Abstract:—Oaxaca is one of the Mexican states with highest plant species richness (García-Mendoza & Meave 2011, Villaseñor 2016), hosting about 10,000 taxa of vascular plants. The Bromeliaceae family is represented in Oaxaca by 184 species, which corresponds to 44% of the Mexican bromeliad flora (Espejo-Serna et al. 2007, Espejo-Serna & López-Ferrari 2018). About 29% (53 spp.) and 67% (124 spp.) of these species are
endemic to the state and to the country, respectively.
