New data on the distribution of alien species in the south of Primorsky Territory are presented. For the first time Digitalis grandiflora Mill is indicated in the composition of an alien flora - a species that has passed away from culture, currently occupying a significant area in the arboretum of the Gornotaezhnaya station of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ussuriysky City District, Primorsky Territory). This species is a new alien to the entire territory of the Far East. In an anthropogenically transformed territory, Digitalis grandiflora is an epecophyte according to the degree of naturalization. It was revealed that Pilosella floribunda (Wimm. et Grab.) Fr. is actively being introduced to the exposition areas of the arboretum of the GTS FEB RAS, forming extensive loci with a projective coverage of up to 70%. It has been established that a new alien species for the flora of the Ussuri Reserve is Carduus acanthoides L., found at a considerable distance from previously found places of growth outside the protected area. The information on new habitats of other species of alien plants in the territory of the Primorsky Territory, identified by us in the period from 2019 to 2023, is presented.
