Abstract

Salvinia minima (Salviniaceae) is here reported as a new non-native species to the flora of the Iberian Peninsula. A population was recently found in the Besòs river (Barcelona province) and a sample collected in 1999 at the Ebro Delta (Tarragona province) would also be referable to this species.
