"+ Division 4: Larnaka, at airport, SW of roundabout, waste ground, alt. 10 m, 16.4.2014, R. Hand 6438 (B). – Kamares Larnakas, margins of marshy place, alt. 1 m, 6.5.2017, G. Hadjikyriakou 7539 (B, herb. Hadjikyriakou). First records for Cyprus. The earlier gathering was first mistaken. In the second case, material could not be identified with any other Atriplex known from Cyprus. Finally, both specimens proved to belong to A. suberecta, an originally Australian species. There are documentations of more or less established populations in various EuroMediterranean countries such as Spain (Castroviejo 1990) and France (Tison & de Foucault 2014). However, the nearest occurrences can be found in Israel and Jordan where it has already colonised large parts of the country as regards the former (Danin & Fragman-Sapir 2016–). Small populations have been observed at the above mentioned places in the Larnaka region. For the time being to be classified as naturalised non-invasive" (Hand 2020).
