Journal Title: Annals of Plant Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The present study deals with comprehensive list of invasive species in the flora of Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh, India with background information of family, nativity, mode of introduction, flowering and fruiting. 83 species of plant belongs to 26 families were documented as invasive plant in all three phytogeographical regions (agricultural land, urban land and protected land).
