PLANTS Database

text "PLANTS" in a box

The US Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) PLANTS database provides access to Federal Noxious Weed List, State Noxious Weed Reports, a State and Federal Composite List of All U.S. Noxious Weeds, an Invasive Plants of the U.S. list, and an Introduced Plants of the U.S. list.

* Remember that an introduced or alien plant is not necessarily an invasive plant, nor is an invasive plant necessarily introduced or alien.

Invaders Database

The INVADERS Database is a comprehensive database of exotic plant names and weed distribution records for five states in the northwestern United States. Noxious weed listings are provided for all US states and six southern tier Canadian provinces.

Invasive Plant Atlas of New England

map of New England with flowers and letters IPANE below it

The Invasive Plant Atlas of New England (IPANE) is web-accessible database of invasive and potentially invasive plants in New England that is continually updated by a network of professionals and trained volunteers. An important focus of the project is the early detection of, and rapid response to, new invasions.

Distribution of air potato ( Dioscorea bulbifera ) in Florida by county. Map: Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants.
Plant distributions are most often mapped by county. Occasionally data may be refined to point locations. We have listed some sites that offer distribution maps for plants below and to the side.

> What are the worst weeds? It depends on where you live. If you live in one of the 48 contiguous states of the USA, indicate your location by clicking on The Nature Conservancy's map to view a nefarious weed that lives near you!
