Primer reporte de Raphanus raphanistrum L. en los páramos de Chimborazo, Ecuador

Abstract

Raphanus raphanistrum L. is reported for the first time at Reserve of Fauna Production of Chimborazo, Ecuador at 4,020 m in height in a paramo vegetation. The species was first reported for the provinces of Imbabura and Pichincha, to the north of the country. The presence of these plants in a national park may bring some risks to the natural vegetation especially to the endemic vulnerable paramo flora.
