... Cylindropuntia is a complex genus form which several species have been previously recorded in the Balearic Islands and linked to gardening activities. Original to North America, C. tunicata can be misidentified easily with C. pallida, which has been previously recorded in Ibiza and Formentera (Sáez et al. 2016). Besides flower color, vegetative traits allow to distinguish both species. ...
Increasing worldwide rates of plant introductions is an environmental issue that makes necessary to continuously update alien checklists. The Balearic Islands (an archipelago located in the Western Mediterranean basin) has been strongly influenced by tourism during the last decades, causing an increase of alien species arrival. After two years of field surveys (2021–2022), here we report and discuss the presence of 12 alien plant species previously unknown for the Balearic archipelago. Species records include the known invasives Tradescantia fluminensis, Cylindropuntia tunicata and Erythrostemon gilliesii. World widespread and of variable invasiveness Salpichroa origanifolia, Portulacaria afra, Buddleja madagascariensis, and less recorded Aloiampelos ciliaris, and Aloe x delaetii, Dracaena draco and Justicia adhatoda. Finally, Euphorbia canariensis and Sedum multiceps, both rarely recorded being these records the second and third observations outside their native range.
... It includes the suffrutescent to shrubby species D. ecklonis, a popular garden plant native to South Africa but regarded as a weed in Mediterraneanclimate regions (Mediterranean basin, North America and Australia). In the Iberian Peninsula, D. ecklonis has been reported as naturalized in Galicia, Valencian Community, and Catalonia (González-Martínez, 2015;Aymerich, 2016;Sáez et al., 2016). In continental North Africa, D. ecklonis is here firstly reported (Greuter, 2006+;APD, 2020; GBIF, 2020) as casual ( Figure 2B) since it was recorded for many years from many sites in Tunisia in disturbed areas escaping from cultivated individuals in the surroundings. ...
Sixteen new Asteraceae are added to the non-indigenous flora of Tunisia. Six of them (Dimorphotheca ecklonis,Gaillardia pulchella, Gazania linearis var. linearis, Guizotia abyssinica, Rudbeckia triloba and Tithonia diversifolia) are also new for the flora of North Africa. Chrysanthemummorifolium is here first reported for the Mediterranean Basin. Seven genera (Argyranthemum, Bidens, Dimorphotheca, Gaillardia, Guizotia, Rudbeckia and Tithonia) are recorded for the first time for the vascular flora of Tunisia. Most of these species escaped from gardens and pots and became casual along roadsides and/or disturbed areas after cypsela dispersion (except for Chrysanthemum morifolium). Some species, even though appearing to be well established locally and are potentially invasive at a worldwide level, still do not behave so in Tunisia. In addition to the floristic notes, the typification of the names Dimorphotheca ecklonis, Gorteria linearis and Mirasolia diversifolia are discussed.
... Thus, it was seen naturalised in Florida (Franck, 2012), India (Drummond & Prain, 1906) and western Australia (Forster, 1996). In Europe it has been recorded in the Valencia area and in the Balearic Islands in Spain (Moragues & Rita, 2005;Guillot Ortiz et al., 2009;Sáez et al., 2016) as well as in Italy (Manni, 2015).

Recent fieldwork in Tunisia yielded several new records of non-native species of the genus Agave. Agave angustifolia var. marginata, A. fourcroydes and A. sisalana are locally naturalised and reported for the first time from the country. To our knowledge, naturalised populations of these three taxa were also unknown elsewhere in the Maghreb and North Africa. We also draw attention to A. attenuata subsp. attenuata, a widely grown ornamental that is expected to become naturalised in the near future. Updated nomenclature, brief descriptions, as well as general and national distributions are provided for each of the naturalised Agaves. A key to all the species, subspecies, and varieties of Agave that occur in Tunisia is presented , and all the taxa are illustrated.

Hymenocallis littoralis, Narcissus papyraceus subsp. papyraceus, Nothoscordum gracile,
Tulbaghia violacea, Zephyranthes candida and Z. rosea. Moreover, six of them are new aliens to North Africa and one genus has not been reported before in the Mediterranean area. All reported plants have been introduced since many years mainly as ornamentals, subsequently escaped in the wild.
... It is also known from the southern Catalonian coast, but only as isolated individuals (Aymerich, 2017;Aymerich, 2020). Elsewhere in Europe, this species is reported from the islands of Sardinia (Bacchetta et al., 2009), as casual, and Mallorca (Sáez et al., 2016), where it is naturalized. It is also possible that some European records of M. lutea Schwantes -e.g. from Cadaqués in northern Catalonia (Gómez et al., 2010) or the Valencia region in the eastern Iberian Peninsula (Guillot et al., 2008)-belong to M. uitenhagensis. ...
Recent fieldwork in the maritime influence area of the provinces of Barcelona and Girona (NE Spain, Catalonia) yielded several interesting new records of non-native vascular plants. Abelia ×grandiflora, Bauhinia forficata subsp. pruinosa, Bidens vulgata, Celosia argentea, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Cyperus esculentus var. heermannii, Firmiana simplex, Hypericum canariense, Mollugo verticillata and Ruscus ×microglossus are reported for the first time from Catalonia (most of them also for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula, and some even from Europe). Miscellaneous additional records are presented for numerous further alien taxa that have only rarely been recorded before in the study area or that otherwise are of interest.
... For identification, more details and distribution see Carlón & al. (2008: 79) (Foden & Potter 2005). In Europe, the species seems to be introduced/cultivated as an ornamental in a large scale mainly in Italy and Portugal, whereas it is considered a casual alien in the Balearic Islands (Domina 2011+;Sáez & al. 2016). In N Africa, the species is reported only as alien with "status unknown" in the Canary Islands and as "cultivated doubtfully escaping" in Libya (Domina 2011+;APD 2020 (Meusel & al. 1965: 210;Browicz 1971: 10;Browicz 1984: 5, 29;Scholz 1995: 395) or its synonym Amelanchier rotundifolia (Lam.) ...

Botanical surveys undertaken in Central and Northern Tunisia (North Africa), mostly between 2012 and 2018, have revealed 12 non-native succulent (sensu lato) taxa that had not been reported before, either from the whole Mediterranean area, or from North Africa and Tunisia. The new taxa here reported belong to Aizoaceae, Basellaceae, Crassulaceae and Euphorbiaceae. Some can be considered naturalized or even potentially invasive in North Africa (e.g. Aptenia cordifolia (L.f.) Schwantes), whereas others are here reported for the first time from the Mediterranean area, e.g.: Carpobrotus dimidiatus (Harv.) L.Bolus and Volkeranthus aitonis (Jacquin) Gerbaulet. Some general information for each of these taxa is given, including data on their actual distribution and invasion status worldwide. Some field photographs are moreover provided.

Background – Species of Agave and Furcraea (Agavaceae, Asparagaceae s. lat.) are widely cultivated as ornamentals in Mediterranean climates. An increasing number is escaping and naturalising, also in natural habitats in the Canary Islands (Spain). However, a detailed treatment of variously naturalised and invasive species found in the wild in the Canary Islands is not available and, as a result, species identification is often problematic.
Methods – The present study is based on many years of fieldwork on the islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife.
Results – Fourteen species and several additional infraspecific taxa of Agave have been identified. In addition to the widely naturalised and invasive Agave americana, A. fourcroydes and A. sisalana (incl. the not previously reported var. armata), the following species of Agave were observed: A. angustifolia (incl. var. marginata), A. attenuata, A. filifera, A. franzosinii, A. lechuguilla, A. macroacantha, A. murpheyi, A. oteroi, A. salmiana (var. ferox and var. salmiana), A. aff. tequilana and A. vivipara. From the genus Furcraea three species were found: F. foetida, F. hexapetala and F. selloana. Several of these newly
detected species of Agave and Furcraea are at least locally naturalised. A key for the identification of the representatives of these genera in the study area is presented and all species are illustrated. Additional nomenclatural, taxonomic and ecological notes are also provided.
