Abstract

Different floristic surveys in Algeria led to the discovery of xenophytes. Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) is a new one and was recently discovered in Algiers beach, Zemmouri El Bahri. A brief description of its location and ecology are provided. This information completes the recent records in Tunisia and Morocco and confirms that E. prostrata is widespread throughout most of North Africa.
