Article Synopsis
- Despite many studies on alien plant species, their spread and negative effects on habitats are still hard to control in Italy and Europe.
- This research examined 12 Italian regions, documenting 117 new records of alien plants, including 89 first-time sightings and 7 new species for Italy, two of which are new to Europe.
- Key regions like Calabria, Sardegna, and Sicilia recorded the most instances, with five of these newly identified taxa classified as invasive in Italy, highlighting the importance of plant studies in understanding and managing alien species.

Many of these species have a long history of gathering from the wild as a source of food.

In order to favour implementation of European Union Regulation no. 1143/2014 on invasive alien species, the Italian Society of Vegetation Science carried out a large survey led by a task force of 49 contributors with expertise in vegetation across all the Italian administrative regions.
