The paper reports the discovery of the Southern African endemic Ruschia uncinata (L.) Schwantes (Aizoaceae) along the Mediterranean coastline on cliffs at Monastir in Tunisia (CE Tunisia, N-Africa). This is the first record of this species in this area. The population of R. uncinata, appears to be well-established and expanding. The large number of accompanying alien species suggests that the population of R. uncinata could have originated from dumped garden debris. Description of the morphology, distribution as well as habitat is provided.
