Abstract

We report the presence of the invasive alien species Alternanthera philoxeroides in the river Guadalquivir, in Seville (Spain, Southern Iberian Peninsula). This finding is the first record for Andalusia and it is added to the other two that have been already  published for the Iberian Peninsula.
