Verbascum lydium (Plantaginaceae) has recently been found in the Valencian Community, and this population represents a new exotic species for the Spanish flora. Verbascum lydium is native to Turkey and East Aegean Islands. In 2023 the species has been located in the port of Castellón, where has successfully reproduced and is forming a stable population in a new urban ecosystem, which opens the possibility to expand in the coming years as other exotic species with invasive potential.
