EPPO Reporting Service (2009/205) : considered as widely distributed in the South of France (Provence and Languedoc).
Fournier (1936) indicated that B. halimifolia had been introduced in France in 1683. During the second half of the 19th century, it was widely recommended as an ornamental garden plant in numerous nursery catalogues and horticultural books. In the 1950s, B. halimifolia was very common in the South-West of France, especially abundant all around the Arcachon bassin (Gujan, between Andernos and Arès, around Pitchourlin). At the same time in Brittany, it was also spreading.
In the middle of the 1970s, it was considered as completely naturalized along the French Atlantic coast (Jovet & de Vilmorin, 1975) and occured in nine departments: Ille-et-Vilaine, Côtes-d'Armor, Finistère, Morbihan, Loire-Atlantique, Vendée, Gironde, Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
During the 1980s, the first records of B. halimifolia were reported along the Mediterranean coast, in the Roussillon (Amigo, 1983). B. halimifolia was recorded more recently along the Languedoc coast (Salabert & Gastesoleil, 1991).
Recently it also appeared on the shores of the North Sea in the estuary of the Slack (Ambleteuse) and Wimereux (Toussaint, pers. com., 2012).
