APPENDIX C:
List of Florida Invasive Plants
EEL Program, Management Plan, Part II – Pine Rockland (DRAFT) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's
2005
List of Invasive Species
Purpose of the List: To focus attention on --
¾the adverse effects exotic pest plants have on Florida's biodiversity and plant communities,
¾the habitat losses from exotic pest plant infestations,
¾the impacts on endangered species via habitat loss and alteration,
¾the need to prevent habitat losses through pest-plant management,
¾the socio-economic impacts of these plants (e.g., increased wildfires in certain areas),
¾changes in the seriousness of different pest plants over time,
¾the need to provide information that helps managers set priorities for control programs.
DEFINITIONS: Exotic—a species introduced to Florida, purposefully or accidentally, from a natural range outside of
Florida. Native—a species whose natural range included Florida at the time of European contact (1500 AD).
Naturalized exotic—an exotic that sustains itself outside cultivation (it is still exotic; it has not "become" native).
Invasive exotic—an exotic that not only has naturalized but is expanding on its own in Florida plant communities.
Abbreviations used:
for "Gov. list": P = Prohibited by Fla. Dept. of Environmental Protection, N = Noxious weed
listed by Fla. Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services, U = Noxious weed listed by U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
for "Reg. Dis.": N = north, C = central, S = south, referring to each species' current distribution
in general regions of Florida (not its potential range in the state). See following map.

For additional information on distributions of particular species by county, visit the
University of South Florida’s Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants web site,
www.plantatlas.usf.edu. Many of those species entries also have habit and close-up pictures
of the species.
Additional images for some species may be found at the “Introduced Species” page on the
Univ. of Florida Herbarium website, at Fairchild Tropical Garden’s Virtual Herbarium, and
the Godfrey Herbarium database, Florida State University.
For other additional information on plants included in this list, see related links and pages
at this web site on the home page menu.

Category I - Invasive exotics that are altering native plant communities by displacing native
species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives. This
definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the
documented ecological damage caused. .
