Abstract

Abstract The paper contains information on the find of Sicyos angulatus L. (Cucurbitaceae), a new alien species in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic. S. angulatus, a quarantine plant species of the Eurasian Economic Union, was found on one of the streets of the city of Nalchik. We noted an active spread of the species within the territory of one of the households. Since the publication of regional reports on alien flora in 2019–2021, new locations of eight invasive plant species of Kabardino-Balkaria have been established. The range of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. was expanded at the upper altitude boundaries of species occurrence in the mountains (2000–2300 m above sea level). According to monitoring results, the invasive status of Echinocystis lobata (Michx.) Torr. & A. Gray., Bidens frondosa L., Euphorbia humifusa Willd., and Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn was changed because of the massive spread of the species. It was proposed to include Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop., and Vitis vinifera L. in the list of invasive species of the region.
