The flora of Mexico is constantly updated, and the Bromeliaceae and Piperaceae families are represented in the country with numerous species, mainly in the southern states. However, botanical explorations have increased the
species reported for each state, and some can be found by studying herbaria and misidentified specimens, or relict
forests close to urban areas. This work aims to report new records of Bromeliaceae and Piperaceae for different
Mexican states, an updated distribution map in Mexico. Between 2018 and 2023, as part of different botanical
explorations, including peri-urban green areas, specimens were collected and identified using identification keys and
experts’ help. We determined new contributions to state floras and northern extensions to the known distribution of
these species, one of which was present in urban forest remnants. The four new records correspond to Pseudalcantarea macropetala, Tillandsia heterophylla, Werauhia nutans, and Piper pseudoasperifolium from montane cloud forests and secondary vegetation, demonstrating the importance of carrying out botanical explorations in different types of vegetation, also considering forest remnants in urban areas.
