Elatine gussonei (Sommier) Brullo et al. is a rare freshwater
plant previously assumed to be endemic to Lampedusa and the
Maltase archipelago. Taxonomic uncertainties within the
Elatine genus may have caused E. gussonei populations to be
overlooked in the Mediterranean region. To clarify the
distribution of E. gussonei, we reviewed Elatine specimens
from 12 herbaria and conducted eight field surveys in
Mediterranean countries. Through our herbarium review we
documented previously unknown occurrences of E. gussonei from
Portugal, Spain, France, Algeria, Egypt, Cyprus and Israel.
Additionally, in field studies we found populations from
Cyprus, Morocco and Spain. Elatine gussonei is therefore more
widespread than previously assumed, although the species
still has a scattered distribution around the Mediterranean
and many of the records are old. We found intact E. gussonei
seeds in the faeces of migratory Greylag Geese (Anser anser)
collected in southern Spain, suggesting that E. gussonei has
a high capacity for long distance dispersal.
