Geographical Relations of the Chilean Flora

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Plant and Vegetation ((PAVE,volume 5))

Abstract

The chorological approach attempts to classify taxa according to their geographic relationships. The Chilean native genera have been classified in 7 floristic elements and 10 generalized tracks. The origin of major disjunctions in the flora is intensively discussed from the viewpoint of under contrasting biogeographic paradigms like dispersal and vicariance. Attention is also put on the influence of the Andean Dry Diagonal on the evolution of the Chilean flora and its distribution patterns.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Croizat apparently took the idea from van Steenis (1962) or maybe from C Skottsberg? (see Craw 1988 in Chap. 10).

  2. 2.

    Leucocoryne is an interesting case of taxonomic inflation, because the Southern Cone Checklist mentions 45 species, most of them lacking justification.
