This list contains witness of cornfi eld weed now very rare or extinct in Iberian lands, such as Hymenocarpos circinatus (L.) Savi or Securigera securidaca (L.) Degen & Dörfl , and also some of the first witness known from Spain of introduced plants, such as Aster cordifolius L. or Bidens bipinnata L.

Sobre algunas plantas aloctonas

Los comentarios que siguen tienen su origen en una nota que redactamos en 1966 y que en principio debía haberse publicado en breve plazo la cual comprendía algunas consideraciones sobre Picea abies, Abutilón teophrasti, Impatiens balfourii, Citrullus colocynthis, Lonicera japónica y, particularmente, sobre Bidens áurea, especie de origen americano que descubrimos en Barcelona en 1963 y acerca de la cual M. CALDUCH dio noticia en 1973.
