List of Example Species edit
This list is, of course, incomplete. Even as it stands, it could be greatly improved by making a table with common names and the places where the named plant has been introduced and become a problem. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric

Escaped plant list edit
The list of escaped plants is unsatisfactory, because whether a species is an archaeophyte, neophyte or native depends on the location. The list contains many species that are wild, native plants somewhere in the world, not merely garden cultivars. Several species in the list are part of the native flora in Britain and Ireland, not primarily of garden origin. I suggest the list is shortened to include only notable plants that have escaped from cultivation, each example accompanied by a brief explanation and a source.
