Abstract

The species Anredera cordifolia was recorded in the beginning of 20th century as an ornamental plant in gardens and parks in south Croatia. In this paper, it is noted as being naturalised along the roadside in the composition of ruderal vegetation near Baćina. The species was established for the first time in 2006, and again at the same locality during the following two years. So far, the species can be characterised as having escaped from culture and become naturalised, but not invasive, the case with this species in other warm parts of the world.
