This is a partial annotated bibliography of on line resources for systematic information about (invasive) plant species including scientific names, native ranges and other botanical and biological information. These sites to not necessarily identify a particular species as being invasive in any given location per se. The information found here is used in conjunction with legislative, regulatory or other authoritative sources which together create an informed basis for indicating a particular species as being "politically" invasive in your ecosystem or landscape.
For more complete information about invasive species specifically: National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC): Gateway to invasive species information; covering Federal, State, local, and international sources. http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/
