Abstract: Chamaesyce glyptosperma (ENGELMANN) SMALL, 1903 new to the flora of Hungary was collected on the outskirts of Budapest in 2008. Checking Hungarian herbaria a further specimen of C. glyptosperma collected near Agárd (central Hungary) in 1957 erroneously identified as “Euphorbia humifusaWILLD.” was found. With the exception of C. maculata (LINNAEUS) SMALL, 1903 all revised herbarium specimens of Chamaesyce GRAY, 1821 species recorded in Hungary are enumerated. Relevant literature records are evaluated based on voucher specimens. The single Hungarian record of C. canescens (LINNAEUS) PROKHANOV, 1933 (Vácrátót, north Hungary) is considered doubtful. Former Hungarian occurrences of C. humifusa (WILLDENOW) PROKHANOV, 1927 are documented from only two botanical gardens in Budapest. Though no authentic new record was published in the last 50 years, vouchers of C. nutans (LAGASCA) SMALL, 1903 refer to former naturalisation of this species in the southern regions of Hungary.
