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.
New noteworthy records of flowering plants in Cyprus (2019–2021) and some status clarifications
(2022)
This paper deals with specimen-based records of 20 taxa, the majority of which are alien species in Cyprus. The following taxa are new to Cyprus or have been documented by specimens for the first time: Allium tuberosum, Amaranthus emarginatus subsp. pseudogracilis, A. powellii, Commelina communis, Cyperus alternifolius subsp. flabelliformis, Helianthus annuus, Lantana camara, Leucaena leucocephala subsp. leucocephala, Phoenix dactylifera, Urochloa ramosa, Washingtonia filifera and Zea mays. Namely Leucaena leucocephala should be given particular consideration because it may soon become a problematic invasive.
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".
