Abstract

The presence of Murdannia spirata (Commelinaceae) as an exotic, subspontaneous taxa for the European flora is first time quoted here. This species has been found inside the municipal nurseries in El Saler Natural Park of La Albufera de Valencia (Spain). The coincidence with other recent appointments of new invader taxa in plant nurseries (i.e. Ludwigia hyssopifolia) for the Iberian peninsula induces us to suspect that the coconut fiber used as complementary substrata for plant culture, can be the main entry vector for these introductions.
