Abstract

The presence of Crepis capillaris, a weed native of Europe, is reported for the first time from Mexico. It was observed as ruderal and invading pastures in the central part of the state of Veracruz, within an altitudinal belt situated between 1900 and 2450 m, in conditions of humid climate. It is estimated that the arrival of the species to this area dates from not much more than 20 years.
