Keywords:
Anacardiaceae, Cucurbitacea, Vascular plants, Urban vegetationAbstract
baseline and historical information on native vegetation in the event of potential land-use changes. The objective of this study was to carry out a floristic study at the Centro Regional de Education Superior Campus Llano Largo (UAGro) in Acapulco, using distance models in centered quadrants. The floristic list included 26 species of vascular plants from 14 different families. The Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Anacardiaceous families were the most representative, with 7, 4, and 2 species, respectively. Furthermore, more than 50% of the species belonged to the tree stratum and were used for multiple purposes, such as timber. This list contributes to the understanding of the flora associated with the Regional Center for Higher Education, Llano Largo Campus (UAGro), in Acapulco, Mexico
