Abstract

Dysphania atriplicifolia (Amaranthaceae), a species native to North America, has been recorded in 2024 from Algeria (Aïn Sefra, Naâma). This is the first record from Algeria and the second from the African continent; an unpublished old record from Egypt is published here. Brief information is provided about its morphology, distribution and habitat, and its biological traits and potential for invasiveness are discussed.
