Species Fact Sheet Information

The Invasive Plant Atlas of the MidSouth (IPAMS) provides information on the biology, distribution, and best management practices for a select number of weedy plant species. The IPAMS system has a regional focus, and therefore focuses on the species that are prevalent in the MidSouth region. However, volunteers and data collectors are not limited to the MidSouth region nor to the plant species listed here. Collectors are encouraged to report any invasive plant species they might find, wherever they may be found.

Select the invasive plant of interest from the lists provided for species information, control methods, and distribution maps.
