ResumoIntroduced rangeEPPO Region: Israel.Note: The species is recorded as casual in Belgium.In 1999 in the Ghent port area a single plant was recorded and in 2013 in the port of Roeselare several individuals were reported.It is suspected that these plants did not establish (no cypsela had been observed in November 2013).In Ghent, the species was found at the Ghent train terminal where many kinds of cereals are introduced, and it was found growing among typical soybean aliens, it is therefore suspected that P. hysterophorus may have been introduced as a contaminant of cereals or of soybean consignments.In Roeselare, it was found on rough ground surrounding a pet food mill, and it is suspected that the species could have been introduced as a contaminant of birdseed or other pet food (Verloove, 2006).P. hysterophorus has also been recorded as casual in Poland in 1938 (Mirek et al., 2002), but no detail was provided on its possible introduction.
