After prospecting the vast majority of the populations and consulting herbarium collections and literature, data of distribution and demography of the Mexican populations of Taxus globosa is presented. Besides, the global distribution as the status of the species and its ecology is reviewed. Some populations are well preserved, however most of the prospected populations are under risk of anthropogenic disturbances. No real direct use of the species is performed, but other activities put pressure in their very small populations. With the data compiled, a preliminary diagnosis of its natural state is exposed towards the management and conservation of the species.
