"First record for Cyprus, apparently alien for the island and for the time being to be classified as naturalized non-invasive. It is also well established at Pasia Livadi, not far from Armyrolivado, where the very rare endemic and critically endangered Crypsis hadjikyriakou Raus & H. Scholz grows (≡ Sporobolus hadjikyriakou (Raus & H. Scholz) P. M. Peterson). Both wetlands belong to the rare habitat type 6460 (Peat grasslands of Troodos, according to Directive 92/43 EEC). The population dynamics of the alien thistle need a thorough monitoring in the years to come. + Div. 2: Troodos square, c. 1720 m, margins of pine forest and road, 1 Aug 2012, Hadjikyriakou 7219; ibid., 10 Jul 2014, Hadjikyriakou 7329 (herb. Hadjikyriakou, B)" (Hand 2015).
