Additions to the flora of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)

Abstract

Additions to the flora of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain).-recent fieldwork in Tenerife, especially in September 2010, yielded several interesting new records of non-native vascular plants. Bothriochloa ischaemum var. songarica,

Nuevos xenófitos de La Palma (Islas Canarias, España), con énfasis en las especies naturalizadas y (potencialmente) invasoras. Parte 2.

“…Ipomoea purpurea is here reported from several different localities in La Palma. Since its discovery in Tenerife in 2010 (Verloove & Reyes-Betancort, 2011) it has been confirmed there and was also found in several other places. It is obviously well-established and expanding locally.…”

“…Known distribution in the Canary Islands: C (Acebes Ginovés et al, 2009), T (Verloove & Reyes-Betancort, 2011).…”

New xenophytes from the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria and Tenerife; Spain)

“…In 2015 some plants of P. carolinensis were also recorded in a barranco in Ayagaures. This species looks well-established in southern Gran Canaria and a future, wider naturalization is predictable, similar to that of the congeneric, highly invasive P. ovalis in Tenerife (see Padrón-Mederos et al 2009, Verloove andReyes-Betancort 2011). This species (mesquite) has been known since 2011 as an escape from cultivation in the drier, southernmost parts of Gran Canaria and a future naturalization was predicted (Verloove 2013).…”

“…in South Africa; see Henderson, 2007 Origin: probably China (Vega, 2000). Known distribution in the Canary Islands: known so far from Tenerife (Verloove & reyes-Betancort, 2011).…”
