Abstract
Hoffmannseggia glauca (Ortega) Eifert is a perennial herb native mostly to Central and South America, which is reported for the Iberian and European f loras from material collected in the coastal, warm, and dry territories of Alicante province (southeastern Spain). This seems to be the first record o f the genus and the species in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, and it i s also the first extra-American record for the genus. This plant is briefly described, and chorological, ecological, biological, and phytosociological data are also presented.
