Welcome

Welcome to the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Database. It contains over 5,000 sight records of infestations of EPPC Category I and Category II species in Florida public lands and waters. Nearly all of the records are from local, state, and federal parks and preserves; a few records document infestations in regularly disturbed public lands such as highway or utility rights-of-way. Natural area managers and other veteran observers of Florida’s natural landscapes submit these records, with many supported further by voucher specimens housed in local or regional herbaria for future reference and verification.
