New records of alien plants escaped from cultivation in Algeria. — In this contribution are reported three vascular species new to the alien flora of Algeria and continental North Africa, reported outside the cultures in the Skikda region (northeastern Algeria). Duranta erecta and Justicia adhatoda are considered casual, Tecomaria capensis is considered naturalized. The latter is established in a relic of a maquis of Quercus suber and shows a significant potential for more spreading. Thus, T. capensis should be monitored to prevent a prompt potential invasiveness in Algeria.
