– New area record for this taxon, identified by SEM study of the seeds. It is one of the most common native taxa of the Portulaca oleracea aggregate in Europe and W Asia, primarily in the subtropical zone ( Danin 2011; Danin & al. 2011, 2016; Uotila 2011 +; Amini Rad & al. 2017; POWO 2023b). For a number of countries, including Ukraine, it is also cited as alien ( Bulakh & al. 2019, 2020; POWO 2023b). In Crimea, it has been present for a long time and is found in different parts of the peninsula, but only in anthropogenic habitats.
