“…Surprisingly, most of the populations of Nephrolepis seen on La Palma (cultivated as well as wild) belong to N. cordifolia not to N. exaltata (L.) Schott. The inverse is true for Tenerife where, by far, the latter is the most widely spread species (Verloove, 2017).…”

“…This paper is a sequel to Verloove and Reyes-Betancort (2011) and Verloove (2017) and reports about newly-detected alien vascular plants found in Tenerife, mostly between 2014 and 2019. Recent new records dealing with particular taxonomic groups (mostly succulents from the Agavaceae and Cactaceae families) have already been published elsewhere ( Verloove et al 2017 , Verloove et al 2019 ).…”

Recent fieldwork by the author in Tenerife, mostly between 2014 and 2019, yielded new records of alien vascular plants. Fifteen taxa (Acacia decurrens, A. mearnsii, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Ensete ventricosum, Eucalyptus camaldulensis subsp. arida, E. cladocalyx, Euryops chrysanthemoides, Ficus elastica, Lippia alba, Pavonia sepioides, Pittosporum tobira, Populus × canadensis, Pyrostegia venusta, Ruellia dipteracanthus and Wigandia kunthii) are reported for the first time from the Canary Islands. All were initially introduced on purpose, mostly as ornamentals, and recently started to escape from cultivation. Most of them are ephemerals or only locally established, but nearly all have the potential to naturalise in the future. Thirteen additional species are reported for the first time from Tenerife: Atriplex nummularia, Bellis perennis, Chenopodium probstii, Coccoloba uvifera, Commelina benghalensis, Cuphea hyssopifolia, Eragrostis virescens, Lemna minuta, Malvastrum corchorifolium, Plerandra elegantissima, Psidium guajava, Thunbergia alata and Urochloa subquadripara. Finally, some miscellaneous notes are provided on the presence of Balanites aegyptiaca, Callistemon viminalis, Grevillea robusta and Passiflora caerulea in Tenerife.

“…Prosopis juliflora was first confirmed as present in Jordan by Harris et al . (), in Almeria, South‐Eastern Spain (two planted trees only, planted in 1988; Pasiecznik & Peñalvo López, ) and naturalized in a very limited area in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) (Verloove, , ). Here, the species has been known since 2011 as an escapee from cultivation in the drier, southernmost parts of Gran Canaria.…”
