Abstract

The geographical location of the State of Mexico involves different climates and ecosystems that confer a high biological diversity.The southeast region of the State of Mexico is integrated of the municipalities Tenancingo, Villa Guerrero, Malinalco Zumpahuacán, Ixtapan de la Sal, Tonatico, Coatepec de harinas, Almoloya of Alquisiras, Texcaltitlán, Sultepec and Zacualpan; they are part of the Balsas depression floristic province, ranked as one of the largest and most important of Mexico; however, existing data on fruit species that thrive in this basin are scarce indeed. In order to obtain a list of fruit species in this region from June 2010 to May 2011, biweekly botanical specimens were collected for determination and deposit in the herbarium “Eizi Matuda” (CODAGEM), of the Faculty of Agriculture Sciences of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. In total, 87 species of fruit, belonging to 57 genera and 34 families were obtained. 58.8% of the species are native and 41.2% are introduced. The family Rosaceae dominates in number of genera and species (7 and 12, respectively), followed by Fabaceae (4 genera and 10 species). The genera Citrus (7 species), Leucaena (5), Annona (4) and Passiflora (4) stand out for their richness; the biological form were best represented by the trees (70.1%) followed by the herbs (19.6%) and the bushes (10.3%). Results reflecting the richness of fruit in the southeast of the State of Mexico.
