Abstract

In thus note attention is called to a remarkable increment of introduced plants of African origin, observed in the present century in the spontaneous flora of Mexico. Grasses prevail amply among these plants; almost all behave as ruderals and the majority have scaped from cultivation. A list of the most important adventitious species of this origin is included.
