Abstract
Analysing 14 morphometric characteristics of individuals from three po pulations of Behria tenuiflora, a monospecific endemic genus of the Ca pe Region of Baja California Sur, Mexico, enough statistical differenc es were found to conclude that there exists a subspeciation process le ading, to at least two ecotypes, one in the arid zones, and the other in the conifer forest.
