Abstract: | Senecio kleinia, an endemic plant of the Canary islands that is commonly used as an ornament in private gardens of the south-eastern Spanish coast, has been discovered invading some native plant communities of the Alicante coastal region. We suggest that a favourable microclimate, and the ability to disperse by both seed and vegetative growth, have allowed the plant to establish stable and spreading populations. The presence of potential habitat along the south eastern Spanish coast increases the risk of expansion of Senecio kleinia to many other localities including protected areas. | Senecio kleinia, una planta endémica de las Islas Canarias, comúnmente utilizada como ornamental en jardines del sureste español, ha sido encontrada en dos localidades costeras alicantinas formando parte de diferentes comunidades vegetales. Así mismo, la existencia de un microclima favorable y la capacidad de la planta de reproducirse con éxito tanto vegetativamente como por semillas, han permitido la consolidación de poblaciones estables. La presencia de hábitats potenciales a lo largo de la costa sureste de la Península Ibérica incrementa el riesgo de expansión de la planta hacia otras localidades, entre las que se incluyen espacios protegidos. |
