Catálogo de plantas alóctonas en la provincia de León (NW España)

Abstract

Records of exotic plants have been notably increased in the former decades, perhaps it is a consequence of the increase of interchanges and communication between far-off places. We have compiled the available information resulting from the botanical research developed in this province in the last thirty years. Naturalized plants belonging to some 100 naturalized taxa living in León province have been catalogued. They are an important risk for the survival of the autochthonous flora. All the information summarized is coming from the available literature, material conserved at LEB and our own observations. The main goal of this paper is to compilate of all available information about the exotic plants living in this territory and to add supplementary information from Spain.
