A revision is presented for the four Mexican species of the genus Disciphania: D. cardiophylla, D. caloparpa, D. mexicana, and D. spadicea.

A key to identify the species, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and assessments of the conservation status based on the IUCN criteria are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...
