This list documents plants and animals that are -- or have great
potential to be - invasive in the state of Delaware. These invasives are
known to displace native species and/or disrupt natural ecological
processes, with species in reverse text being the most troublesome. The
list is based on personal knowledge, consultation with experts, and
review of the literature. Origin, Growth Form and Wetland Indicator
codes are described following the list.

**THIS LIST IS NOT REGULATORY**; it is intended to serve only as a
reference for those interested in invasive species in Delaware. Also,
the focus of the list is on plants and animals that **IMPACT NATURAL
AREAS**; some of these species may be appropriate in other settings,
although they should be used with caution.

  OBL          occurs almost always (\> 99%) under natural conditions in
               wetlands

  FACW         usually occurs in wetlands (67 - 99%), but occasionally found in
               non-wetlands

  FAC          equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (34 - 66%)

  FACU         usually occurs in non-wetlands (67 - 99%), but occasionally found
               in wetlands (1 - 33%)

  UPL          occurs almost always (\> 99%) under natural conditions in
