Abstract

New reports of Garrya ovata ssp. goldmanii
(Wooton & Standl.) Dahling and Beschorneria
calcicola García-Mendoza are presented for
the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Both taxa were
found on karstic hills in the arid zone of
Veracruz near Tenextepec, Perote. Garrya
ovata ssp. goldmanii is a small shrub measuring
up to 1.5 m tall, which contrasts considerably
with G. laurifolia Benth. ssp. laurifolia and G.
la
urifolia Benth. ssp. macrophylla already
registered for Veracruz. These are shrubs or
trees from 2 to 10 m tall. Beschorneria
calcicola is a small rosettiform plant measuring
up to 60 cm tall which contrasts with B.
yuccoides K. Koch ssp. dekosteriana (K.
Koch) García-Mendoza of Veracruz, which is a
large plant from 1 to 2.5 m tall, with large wide
leaves.
