Abstract

Hylotelephium maximum (Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae) is reported for the first time from Tunisia as a casual non-native succulent species. This also represents the first record of this species on the African continent. It was found in the Aîn Draham and Ghar Dimaou regions (Jendouba Governorate, north-western Tunisia). Reasons for its occurrence and potential spread are discussed.

Hylotelephium maximum (Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae) wird zum ersten Mal aus Tunesien als unbeständige, nicht-einheimische Sukkulentenart nachgewiesen. Dies ist auch der erste Nachweis dieser Art auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent. Sie wurde in den Regionen Aîn Draham und Ghar Dimaou (Gouvernement Jendouba, Nordwesttunesien) gefunden. Die Gründe für ihr Vorkommen und ihre potentielle Ausbreitung werden diskutiert.
