During the floristic research in the Emirate of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2017–2022, we made new findings that complement the species composition of the flora of vascular plants in the territory of the Emirate and the UAE as a whole. The article provides data on 17 new ergasiophygophytes – cultivated and running wild plant species, alien to the Emirate of Fujairah: Pseuderanthemum maculatum (G. Lodd.) I.M. Turner var. atropurpurem (W. Bull) V.V. Byalt et M.V. Korshunov comb. nov. (P. atropurpureum (W. Bull) L.H. Bailey) (Acanthaceae), Jatropha gossypiifolia L., J. integerrima Jacq., Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae), Linum usitatissimum L. (Linaceae), Gossypium barbadense L., Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae), Melaleuca viminalis (Sol. ex Gaertn.) Byrnes (Callistemon viminalis (Sol. ex Gaertn.) G. Don) (Myrtaceae), Physalis angulata L., P. peruviana L., Solanum melongena L., S. tuberosum L. (Solanaceae), Allium cepa L., A. sativum L. (Alliaceae), Asparagus aethiopicus L. (A. sprengeri Regel) (Asparagaceae), Tradescanthia pallida (Rose) D.R. Hunt (Setcreasea pallida Rose) (Commelinaceae), Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertner (Poaceae). Most of these species have also never been previously listed in the Arabian floras and checklists as alien adventive species.
