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).

Cyprus is one of the few areas in the E Mediterranean where the distribution areas of Silene colorata s. str. and S. oliveriana overlap. Opinion about taxonomy and rank of the latter is much divided. Our field observations in Cyprus as well as literature and herbarium studies support the view to treat the latter taxon at species rank. Additionally, it is more widespread in Cyprus than previously assumed.
