Baldellia ranunculoides (Alismataceae) was thought to be first observed in Cyprus at the southern tip of the island in 1991. However, an older specimen collected near Syrianochori in 1952 has hitherto been overlooked. It is recommended to expand the search for this "Regionally Extinct (RE)" water plant to the northwest of Cyprus.

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.

Tradescantia fluminensis is an invasive weed that has been recorded for the first time in Cyprus. The species occurs in river banks, mainly under shady conditions. It has been recorded in three sites, always at low density: Marathasa river (Lefkosia district), Kargotis river (Lefkosia district), Kryos river (Lemesos district).

Further noteworthy records of vascular plants in Cyprus (1997–2018) and some status clarifications
(2019)
This paper deals with specimen-based records of 74 taxa, most of them having a scattered occurrence or restricted distribution range in Cyprus. The following taxa are new to Cyprus or have been found in the wild for the first time: Aristida adscensionis subsp. adscensionis, Buglossoides incrassata subsp. splitgerberi, Cenchrus setaceus, Chenopodium rubrum, Gazania rigens, Malus domestica, Mespilus germanica, Mirabilis jalapa, Pyrus communis, Sambucus nigra and Spartium junceum. The new combination Urtica cypria (H. Lindb.) Hand for the endemic nettle species is proposed.
