Abstract
This study was conducted in years 2000 to 2003 to compile a comprehensive list of
naturalized species with background information, including origins, life forms, habits, usages, year of
the first collection, and status. Major herbaria (TAI, HAST, TAIF, and NCKU) were visited to
examine specimen records. Relevant publications and reliable websites and many other resources were
also examined extensively for background information. Total 341 species in 222 genera and 60
families were documented as naturalized in Taiwan, representing 7.9% of the local flora. Besides, 25
species were considered as possibly naturalized due to insufficient evidences. A large portion (90.6%)
of species reported here, were reported as “weeds” in other countries. Almost a half of the naturalized
species (48.3%) were introduced from Americas.
