Alien plants from Romania have drawn the attention of researchers since the beginning of this millennium. A first attempt to create an inventory of alien species in the flora of Romania was made about 20 years ago. In less than 10 years, the number of such plants included on the list has increased by about 35%. Annually, contributions are made to the spread of these taxa or new taxa are mentioned for the adventitious flora of Romania. In this paper, the author discusses certain alien taxa that develop on areas located in southern Romania (especially in Oltenia). The following species are analyzed: Echinocystis lobata, Amaranthus palmeri, Azolla filiculoides, Vallisneria spiralis, Asclepias syriaca, Prunus cerasifera, Oenothera glazioviana, Abutilon theophrasti, Datura wrightii, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum, Eleusine indica. Voucher specimens collected in the field are deposited in the Herbarium of the University of Craiova.
