CERONI STUVA, Aldo. Distribución de las leguminosas de la parte alta de la cuenca La Gallega. Morropón. Piura.. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2003, vol.2, n.1, pp.9-13. ISSN 1726-2216.

The leguminous plants distribution in the highest part of the La Gallega basin (Morropón, Piura) was studied. The plants were collected between 1,350 and 3,100 masl. Altitudinal ranges of the species were registered. The 21 collected species belong to 3 subfamilies and 9 tribes. The greatest distribution corresponded to the Papilionoideae subfamily and to the Phaseoleae tribe. Caesalpinia spinosa was the species with the narrowest distribution and was found only near Santo Domingo, while species such as Erythrina edulis and Vigna luteola were those of the widest distribution. We also found 10 new records of leguminous plants distribution in Perú.
