Distribution details in France (Corse)
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
2010: Present, few occurrences
EPPO Reporting Service (2013/179) : it had initially been recorded as casual (= transient) in Calvi and Galeria in 1996. Two populations of this plant are described, one of these is currently considered casual but the other is naturalized.
S. punicea is still used as an ornamental plant and was found in 2012 in Galeria again. The plant was found along a road, just north of a bridge over the Fango River close to where it had been planted. S. punicea is considered as casual there, even if it produces viable seeds.
S. punicea was also recorded in Algajola in a ruderalized marsh along a road, close to the town, where it is considered as established. The plant escaped from an ornamental plantation and more than 50 individual plants were observed in the marsh, forming locally dense bushes covering several square meters, outcompeting other taxa. The number and age of the plants suggest that the population is more than 10 years old.
