In this work, a demographic study of Gaultheria glomerata and Disterigma empetrifolium was carried out in the Indiviso sector Baquerizo Moreno parish, Píllaro canton, Tungurahua province. The vegetation analogous between montane forest shrubby moorland, located at coordinates 01°18'S; 78°30'W, altitude 3400 m.a.s.l., where Braun-Blanquet methodology for cover adapted by means plots, which were established randomly, minimum distance plot considered to be 100 meters. field existing quantified percentages within 10 plots 10x10m, each them evaluated its subquadrants form L, meter. species identified Herbarium ESPOCH, calculated data 35.69% 13.19% glomerata, are an abundance index 2-3 on Blanquet scale that tells us it belongs medium abundant cover, Therefore, determined has 25-50%, thus concluding is 3 Blanquet's scale, found percentage 5-25%, 2 scale.
