SUMMARY<br />

1. Fourteen localities, in which limestone<br />

and igneous hills are situated close to one another,<br />

were chosen in the south-western and central<br />

part of the Mexican state of San Luis<br />

Potosí, in an attempt to study floristic and ecological<br />

differences between the vegetation of<br />

both kinds of hills.<br />

2. Floristic censuses and brief ecological surveys<br />

on both fa<strong>de</strong>s of each locality were realized.<br />

5. Fight of the fourteen localities showed<br />

differences in vegetation? types as well as floristic<br />

differences, in the resting six localities only floristic<br />

differences were observed.<br />

1. Ecological data indicate the fact that of<br />

the two vegetation types, namely: <strong>de</strong>sert caldcóle<br />

scrub and cactus-mezquite scrub, the first <strong>de</strong>velops<br />

exclusively on limestone and the second<br />

one on igneous substratum. It can also be observed<br />

that the large cacti (Myrtillocactus, Lemaireocereus,<br />

Opuntia) are confined in the area to<br />

soils on igneous rock.<br />

5. F'loristic differences allowed the elaboration<br />

of lists of caldcóle and calcifuge species,<br />

the first ones being much more abundant.<br />

6. Conspicous plant indicators are resumed<br />

in the form of a table and a few observations<br />

are inclu<strong>de</strong>d with the aim of enabling the i<strong>de</strong>ntification<br />

of limestone and igneous rocks by<br />

means of vegetation.<br />
