Invasive Plant Database

 

Texas Invasives maintains an online database devoted to plants known to occur in or around Texas that are suspected of causing invasive problems.

The purpose of this site is informational and educational and it is not intended to be a regulatory tool. Many of the species listed here are economically important horticultural plants but sometimes cause problems when they escape and establish in natural areas. Information about regulatory restrictions on the importation and use of certain invasive species may be found on the Texas Department of Agriculture's website (see TDA Noxious Weed List), and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department website (see TPWD Prohibited Exotic Species)
