Definitions: (Cat I and II are from the 2019 list, Watch List (previously called the To Be Watched List) was approved by Plant List Committee at their 9/18/2020 Meeting. Changed "exotics" to "plants" in definitions of Category I and II.

Category I: Invasive plants that are altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives. This definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological damage caused.

Category II: Invasive plants that have increased in abundance or frequency but have not yet altered Florida plant communities or ecological function to the extent shown by Category I species. These species may become Category I if ecological damage is demonstrated.

Watch List: A non-native plants pecies found in a natural area that shows potential for listing as a Category I or II invasive plant but currently lacks sufficient information to list as such.
