Tamil Nadu has the highest number of exotic plants among 471 aliens
These ‘aliens’ are here to stay. As many as 471 plant species that are alien or exotic — not native to India — are ‘naturalised,’ for they can thrive in the country’s wildernesses by forming stable populations, says a recent report.
This list of naturalised exotic or alien species, ranging from the common guava (Psidium guajava) to prolic invasives such as lantana (Lantana camara), has been compiled in a recent study published in Biological Invasions, an international journal dedicated to the patternsand processes by which organisms invade ecosystems they are not usually found in.
