Abstract:
Three species of Aloe, namely A. arborescens, A. maculata, and A. vera, have been formally recorded as naturalised in the
region covered by the Flora iberica project, which includes the Iberian Peninsula [Portugal and Spain] and the Balearic
islands [an archipelago of islands and islets off the east coast of Spain, in the western Mediterranean Sea]. All three species
occur in both Portugal and Spain. At least one further aloe, A. ×nobilis, is here formally recorded as naturalised in Portugal.
We provide an updated, annotated catalogue of the alooids naturalised or escaped in Portugal, the southwestern-most country
included in the Flora iberica project. Apart from these four naturalised taxa in Aloe, Aloiampelos ciliaris var. ciliaris, is also
recorded as having escaped from cultivation.
