%X Boerhavia erecta L., a new adventive weed has recently been found growing along the Kaohsiung-Taichung railroad. It can be distinguished from B. diffusa L. by its ascending to erect habit, white to pink flowers and obconical glabrous fruit. The diagnostic key to species in Taiwan and the botanical description, along with a line-drawing illustration of the species, are given.
