Abstract

Dittrichia graveolens is reported for the first time for the flora of Chile and for the Southern Cone. A brief description as well as illustrative pictures of the species and the habitat are provided. Furthermore, we present a map of the site where the population was found and a short key to the species of Dittrichia present in Chile. Insights about its potential invasiveness are discussed.
