Portulaca cypria Danin – Fig. 7A, B.

A Cm: Crimea: Sudak, S slope, 31 Jul 1886, Zelenetskiy (YALT).

– New area record for this taxon, identified by SEM study of the seeds. Its native range is the Mediterranean. It is also found in Belarus, Belgium, Iran, Switzerland and the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine ( Uotila 2011 +; Amini Rad & al. 2017; Bulakh & al. 2019; POWO 2023b). The only old record of this microspecies in Crimea suggests that it is a casual alien there.
