English. In the present study the main vegetation types of Mexico are described and represented on a 1:4,000,000 scale map on the basis of personal survey. Most of the existing bibliography on Mexico's vegetation, from the latter part of the past century to the present, was consulted. Twenty-one main vegetation types and 10 sub-types have been differentiated on the basis of their distinctive physiognomic and structural characteristics and bioclimatic standards. The principal component species and their distribution are also indicated.
