Two new naturalized species of the genus Cyperus (Cyperaceae) from Turkey

This study provides a definition and description of Cyperus eragrostis as a new alien species to Algeria and North African flora. This hemicryptophyte, native to the tropical parts of South America, is recorded for the first time in Jijel eco-complex wetlands in North-East Algeria. Applying the standard phytosociological method we studied the stands in which this alien species grows together with other hygrophilous and ruderal species. The present study improves the knowledge of the Algerian flora and completes the information about the distribution of C. eragrostis reported by the available international literature and public herbaria.

The first findings ofCyperus microiria, an alien species with a natural range in South and Southeast Asia, are reported for the Caucasus. The species was initially discovered in collections from Adjara stored in the Herbarium of the Batumi Botanical Garden (BATU), and then was re-collected by the author from the same region in 2023. The first collections from the territory of the Botanical Garden, where the species entered presumably due to the introduction of subtropical Asian plants, date back to 1987. Currently, it is a fairly common species in disturbed wet habitats of the coastal lowland. The nearest findings were made in Rize, Turkey, where the species was recorded as naturalized only in 2014.
