FIGURE 1. WWF ecoregions (www.worldwildlife.org/biomes) in the Department of Boyacá. In 2017–2018, a collaborative international expedition travelled to Boyacá to consolidate expert knowledge of three key angiosperm families in the department and to rapidly produce accurate taxonomic baseline checklists of the species of these families, based on field and herbarium collections. The resulting checklist includes vouchers verified for each species and their localities; full species extinction threat assessments according to IUCN criteria (2022) were calculated for a subset of species. The families in question are the Araceae, Leguminosae (or Fabaceae), and Myrtaceae, selected based on availability of specialist knowledge and the regional ecological and economic significance of these groups. A further objective of the project was to better understand the species diversity of these families in the context of their phytogeographical relationships in this area and to the Neotropics as a whole.
