Abstract

The occurrence of Kallstroemia tribuloides (Mart.) Steud. (Zygophyllaceae) in southeastern Brazil is reported after 136 years. It has been registered in recently disturbed areas of Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. K. tribuloides is recognized as a species adapted to open and sunny environments, with a preference for sandy soils, typical conditions of drylands (e.g. Caatinga Biome) and Restingas. K. tribuloides has attributes that may favor its distribution into the newly colonized environment and its bioinvasive potential should not be overlooked. So, further studies are strongly recommended to monitor and control the spread of K. tribuloides on the Brazilian southeast coast.
