New records in the alien flora of Romania: Euphorbia serpens and E. glyptosperma
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Development - Year 2018, Vol 25, Issue
Abstract
Our recent field research and revision of some herbarium specimens led us to identify two species of Euphorbia (subgenus Chamaesyce), which we report now for the first time in the alien flora of Romania: Euphorbia serpens Kunth and E. glyptosperma Engelm. The first was collected in the city of Iasi, north-eastern Romania, in September 2018. The second was collected, during 2005-2015, in several localities from the lower basin of the Siret river (Galati County), as well as from north-eastern Romania, near Ciurea (Iasi County), but previously erroneously identified as “Euphorbia chamaesyce L.”. Both species, originating in the New World, are xenophytes, more or less naturalized in Europe, perhaps in full process of expansion of their secondary area.
