  • A total of 55 agave species were recorded, with 26 having 'very likely' presence in Hidalgo.
  • Agave mitis was the maguey with the highest frequency of occurrence (19), followed by A. lechuguilla (17).
  • The species are concentrated in the Barranca de Metztitlán Biosphere Reserve and Valle del Mezquital.
  • Agave peacockii is subject to special protection according to NOM-059- SEMARNAT-2010.
  • Taxonomic biases are the main issue for systematic reviews.

Abstract

Introduction: The genus Agave, a biological group of cultural and economic importance, is most diverse in Mexico. However, the exact number of species in the state of Hidalgo remains uncertain.
Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review to examine the diversity of agave species found in the state of Hidalgo.
Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) protocol, herbarium collections and digital databases were reviewed. A total of 65 information sources were identified, from which 22 were selected to create a database. Species names were reviewed and updated to avoid synonyms and repetitions.
Results and discussion: A total of 55 species were identified, with 26 having a ‘very likely’ presence in the region. Agave mitis Mart. was the most frequently recorded maguey (19), followed by A. lechuguilla Torr. (17). The species are primarily concentrated in the Barranca de Metztitlán Biosphere Reserve, Valle del Mezquital, and the central part of the state. Agave peacockii Croucher is subject to special protection according to NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010.
Conclusions: Hidalgo can be considered among the states with a considerable number of Agave species. The generated information is useful; however, it should be used with caution, as it may be subject to spatial, temporal, and taxonomic biases in inventory data, collections, and lists.
