A bibliographic search was carried out to make an updated catalogue of the plant species intro- duced and naturalized in the Spanish part of the Iberian peninsula. The number of records reported in the period 1975-2002 amounted to 170 plant species. The results were categorized according to botanical families and geographical origin. The status of these naturalized species and their distribution within the autonomous regions of the Spanish Iberia were also studied.
