Abstract Nine species are reported as additional or newly
substantiated fully naturalised records for the flora of New Zealand during the
2-year period 1997-1998. Notable additions are the invasive
Eupatorium
cannabinum and
Acacia sophorae, which are well established in the
Wanganui area, and
Myricaria germanica which is relatively common along
parts of the Waimakariri River, Canterbury. Thirty-seven species, including two
ferns, are considered to be new records of casual naturalised plants.
Thirty-eight additional species that were previously known from few collections
are given extended distributions.
Keywords naturalised flora; weeds; dicotyledons;
