Mike's right the Invasive list is a species list, not a genera listing ( I believe) my only disclaimer is that I'm an import guy and the FNS is actually a domestic program. THE EXPERT is Al Tasker who is the weed expert. I included a couple of links, they may not work anymore. The http://www.weedcenter.org/ is a good clearing house of information. Remember that each state sets the initial bar for invasive plants when they species is at the federal level it's usually been a problem in more than one state. Who an what species makes the list is subjective some time it's agricultural impact and sometimes it's toxic levels. I don't think there is a beauty component as criteria. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search/… http://weedcenter.org/wab/2010/… On Jul 28, 2011, at 3:30 AM, Michael Mace wrote: > I want to correct something I told the list yesterday.
