Don't you forget the busy (human) enthusiast? I trust most of the
"surprising"/"unexpected" recent reports of otherwise well-known
plants that have never been found anywhere close in the past few
hundred years, thousands of miles apart from their natural,
climatically, edaphically, and ecologically well circumscribed ranges
can be attributed to direct, +/- intended human influence. Just
consider them introduced neophytes (I do so).

Kind regards
Jan
