Clethraceae

  • Clethra chiapensis L.M.González EN Mexico (CHS) Medium-sized tree, usually up to 15 m, rarely 20 m tall. A recently described species endemic to the Central Highlands of Chiapas. This species is frequently found in high-elevation cloud forests with Abies, although it is also present in moist pine-oak- Liquidambar forest; sometimes in riparian habitats. Extensive deforestation has taken place throughout its geographic range. Common name: kajkej’te. Elevational range: (1,500) 2,100–2,700 m
  • Clethra conzattiana L.M.González EN Mexico (OAX) Shrub or medium-sized tree, up to 20 m tall. a typical cloud forest element but it is also found in pine-oak and pine forest. narrowly endemic to northern Oaxaca. Deforestation is severe in many parts of its range but other areas show an excellent degree of conservation. Common names: jaboncillo, palo colorado. Elevational range: 1,700–2,500 m
  • Clethra luzmariae L.M.González EN Mexico (OAX) Shrub usually spreading by horizontal underground rhizomes; thicket-forming shrubs reaching 2 m tall, or less frequently a small tree up to 10 m tall. An endemic species to northern Oaxaca where it is fairly abundant. It is found in moist pine-oak forest, dense ericaceous scrub, oak forest and cloud forest. Its main threat is climate change because of its narrow and high elevational range. Elevational range: 2,400–3,100 m
  • Clethra oleoides L.O.Williams VU Mexico (CHS), Guatemala, Honduras Small to medium-sized evergreen tree, up to 20 m tall. In Mexico it has a disjunct distribution in disturbed cloud forests areas. Extensive deforestation has taken place throughout its geographical range, particularly in Chiapas. Common names: k’ajk’ etez, shiorsh, tzotzniztez. Elevational range: 2,600–3,300 m
  • Clethra pachecoana Standl. & Steyerm. VU Mexico (CHS), Guatemala, El Salvador Medium-sized to large tree, up to 30 m tall. grows on steep slopes covered with cloud forest, particularly on volcanic soils. also found in pine-oak forest and Abies forest. Material from Chiapas shows morphological differences from Central American specimens, which could lead to its recognition as a separate taxon in the future. Common names: escobo, sapotilla, zapotillo.
  • Clethra purpusii L.M.González EN Mexico (CHS, OAX[?]) Small to medium-sized tree, up to 15 m tall. A very narrow endemic, this species is only known from its type locality, namely Cerro Baúl, on the Chiapas-Oaxaca border (no records from Oaxaca are available as yet). Its main habitat is montane rainforest (a low-elevation kind of cloud forest sensu lato), as well as pine-oak-Liquidambar forest. Elevational range: (1,000) 1,300–1,600 m
  • Clethra vicentina Standl. VU Mexico (CHS), Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua Medium to large tree, up to 20 m tall. strong preference for cloud forest. Synonyms: Clethra johnstonii Standl & Steyerm., C. molinae Standl. & L.O.Williams. Common names: garrapatillo, marquezotillo, palo de agua. Elevational range: (800) 1,200–2,600 m
