TL;DR: The trabajo de Miranda et al. as discussed by the authors divided the vegetación in Mexico into three categories: Vegetación en zonas con clima templado o frio, Vegetasión en zone with clima arido or subarido, and Vegetasião in zone with climatea calido.
Abstract: El estado actual de los estudios mas importantes sobre la vegetacion de Mexico se presenta en forma sintetica. Se utilizo como base para la clasificacion de los tipos de vegetacion el trabajo de Miranda y Hernandez. Los principales tipos de vegetacion en Mexico y sus asociaciones caracteristicas se mencionan. El trabajo se dividio en tres partes principales: a) Vegetacion en zonas con clima templado o frio. b) Vegetacion en zonas con clima arido o subarido. c) Vegetacion en zonas con clima calido. Algunos problemas relativos a los estudios de la vegetacion en Mexico son expresados de forma critica.La vegetacion de Mexico

TL;DR: A preliminary list of 161 species from the genus Quercus, all native to Mexico, is presented in this article, which belongs to three sections: section Lobatae (red oaks, 76 species), quercus (white oak, 81 species), and Protobalanus (intermediate oak, 4 species).
Abstract: This study presents a preliminary list of 161 species from the genus Quercus, all native to Mexico. These species belong to three sections: section Lobatae (red oaks, 76 species), Quercus (white oaks, 81 species), and Protobalanus (intermediate oaks, 4 species). It is estimated that 109 are endemic to Mexico, 47 of which belong to section Quercus, 61 to section Lobatae, and 1 to section Protobalanus. Of all the oak species found in Mexico, 33 of them extend their range into the United States, while only 20 are also found in Central America. The states with the greatest oak divesity are Oaxaca, Nuevo Leon, Jalisco, Chihuahua and Veracruz. Species widely distributed in Mexico are Q. candicans, Q. castanea, Q. crassifolia, Q. laeta, Q. microphylla, Q. obtusata and Q. rugosa. In general, Mexican oak species grow in elevations ranging form 0 to 3,500 m; however, they are found predominantly between 1,000 and 3,000 m. Knowledge on the taxonomy of Mexican oak species remains incomplete; therefore, further research is needed around this important genus.

TL;DR: An updated account of the generic richness of Mexican vascular plants records 2,804 native genera, distributed in 304 families, including the largest number (2,663 genera), 2,117 of them dicotyledons (Magnoliophyta) and 546 monocotylingons (Liliopsida).
Abstract: An updated account of the generic richness of Mexican vascular plants records 2,804 native genera, distributed in 304 families. The flowering plants include the largest number (2,663 genera), 2,117 of them dicotyledons (Magnoliophyta) and 546 monocotyledons (Liliopsida). In addition, 127 genera of ferns and fern allies and 14 of gymnosperms are recorded. A list of gener- ic names is provided, as well as a brief discussion about their richness patterns and their geographical and ecological distribution. Of the total generic richness of Mexico, 7.8% (219 genera) is considered to be endemic to this country.
