We present a contribution to the diversity of epiphytic vascular Protected Area Sierra de Otontepec in three vegetation types: cloud forest, tropical rain forest and acahual, in the municipalities of Chontla and Citlaltepetl. We found that this group of plants is mainly represented by the Bromeliaceae family (26.4%) and Polypodiaceae (23.5%), followed by the family Orchidaceae and Piperacea (14.7%). The BMM showed higher species richness (46%), while the present BTP less wealth (23%) compared with AC (31%). There were two species in the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, in the category of threatened (Tillandsia imperialis and Prostecheae marine). This group of plants is affected by fragmentation and illegal collection, so it is considered necessary to generate knowledge about the species found in the reserve.
