Chorological novelties for the alien flora of northeastern Catalonia (Iberian Peninsula)

Recent fieldwork in the maritime influence area of the provinces of Barcelona and Girona (NE Spain, Catalonia) yielded several interesting new records of non-native vascular plants. Abelia ×grandiflora, Bauhinia forficata subsp. pruinosa, Bidens vulgata, Celosia argentea, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Cyperus esculentus var. heermannii, Firmiana simplex, Hypericum canariense, Mollugo verticillata and Ruscus ×microglossus are reported for the first time from Catalonia (most of them also for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula, and some even from Europe). Miscellaneous additional records are presented for numerous further alien taxa that have only rarely been recorded before in the study area or that otherwise are of interest.
