AB - An account is given of the uses of mesquite--Prosopis laevigata (Humb. and Bonpl. ex Willd.) M.C. Johnst. and P. glandulosa var. torreyana (L Benson) M.C. Johnst.--in the highlands of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The products of mesquite are used as human food, folk medicine, forage, fuel and for construction. The plant communities where it is the most important element provide wildlife reguge, recreation, nectar and desertification control. The development of these species by cultivation and plant breeding should be directed towards supplying those products in high demand. (author)
