“…However, the transect data showed that FG had the highest floristic diversity of all the studied systems and formed a habitat for at least 40 different species, which coincides with the findings of Lascurain et al [36] and López-Acosta et al [37]. These authors identified (municipalities of Misantla, Tenochtitlan, Yecuatla, Mexico) 52 species in ten transects covering 1000 m 2 in the same region.…”

“…Six of these 11 species were highlighted for promotion as a key species for reforestation in TP systems with scarce tree cover: P. schiedeana, which is important for auto consumption and as construction material [41], and C. sinensis due to its function as an edible product, firewood, and medicinal use. O. mexicanum is locally abundant; however worldwide, it is a threatened species which serves-besides its relative high commercial value [36]-as an important product for auto consumption, construction material, and firewood. Another tree species which can bridge financial gaps in rural families is C. odorata, a precious timber species [42], whose wood is also locally used for artisanal furniture, construction material, and medicinal purposes.…”

“…Las entrevistas revelaron que en ciertos casos se envían paquetes de cachichín tostado a los parientes que viven en otros sitios del país e incluso a Estados Unidos, reforzando así la identidad regional por este recurso. La principal forma de venta del cachichín es verde o seco y se circunscribe a las comunidades de la Sierra; también se expende tostado en los mercados ambulantes y en las calles de ciudades como Naolinco, Misantla y Xalapa (Lascurain et al, 2009).…”

“…The fruit of the cachichín tree has an edible seed with a bitter taste. Once it is ripe, fruit falls to the ground, and is collected in the cachichinales and agroforestry systems (Lascurain, López, & Zamora, 2009). The fruit has a globular shape, with a green coverage when it is unripe, which became hard and dark brown when ripe (Figure 2).…”
