Sumario:The etnobotanical wealthiness of the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, should be reconsidered as a sociocultural and economic process that outlined and kept that way for the dispersion and mixing of the culture of the northern desert, a mixture of Iberian, mesoamerican and chichimecas, from cultural centers like missions, presidios and towns to the most distant regions of the territory of New Spain from 1530 to the end of the nineteenth century. El Camino Real was the via; agricultural culture and water was the vehicle by which plants, seedlings, grains, trees, fruit, flowers, bowls, and root grafts with technologies such as decks, terraces and gardens irrigated by dams, levees, ditches, canals and another systems were designed, implemented and spread for novo-northern desert colonizers. Currently survive these systems, however, some of them being phased out.
