Observations on Elide asparagoides and Polygala myrtifolia in Corsica, FrancePolygala myrtifolia (Polygalaceae) is an ornamental shrub originating from South Africa. The plant is present in Sicilia, Southern France and Corsica where it is casual. It is considered invasive in Hawaii (USA). The study shows that the plant does not resist very well to summer drought, that it is heliophile and its seeds seem to be dispersed by wind. Even if the plant should be monitored, its susceptibility to winter low temperatures and to drought limits its populations and it is not considered invasive or potentially invasive.Source:
