Chromosome counts of Lactuca viminea from Cyprus revealed the diploid number 2n = 18, which confirms results from other parts of its distribution range. Cultivation of plants corroborated the existence of two habit forms but assignment of Cypriot material to infraspecific taxa still seems to be premature.
Solenopsis annua, formerly thought to be a Greek endemic, is recorded in Cyprus for the first time. A morphological description and information on its taxonomy, distribution and habitat, as well as its floristic status are provided. It is recommended to treat it at species rank following the currently prevailing trend of a micro-species concept in Solenopsis. Regarding its future Red Data Book status in Cyprus it should be characterised as "Endangered".
Various noteworthy records of flowering plants in Cyprus (1996–2019) and some status clarifications
(2020)
This paper deals with specimen-based records of 33 taxa, most of them having a scattered occurrence or restricted distribution range in Cyprus. The following taxa are new to Cyprus or have been documented by specimens for the first time: Artemisia verlotiorum, Atriplex suberecta, Cardamine occulta, Catharanthus roseus, Erigeron sumatrensis, Euphorbia graminea and Solanum lycopersicum. The recently found Cenchrus setaceus, already problematic as invasive outside Cyprus, seems to spread quickly on the island and should be given particular consideration.
