Dear All,

After three years¡¯ work, our book ¡°Invasive Plants
of Asian Origin Established in the United States and
Their Natural Enemies Volume1¡± was published by USDA
Forest Service FHTET at Morgantown, WV at the end of
2004. It contains summaries of existing information on
40 species of plants found in Asia that were
introduced either purposefully or accidentally into
the United States. All of these species have
established populations in the United States and many
are designated as invasive. It also includes lists of
natural enemies in their native range. All of the
information in Volume 1 was obtained by searching and
reviewing the Chinese literature as well as
discussions with Chinese scientists. Prior to this
current volume, information was scattered,
inaccessible and available only in Chinese. The book
also contains background information on the biology of
each plant species, an image to help with
identification, a map of its distribution in China,
indices of scientific and common names for plant
species and a bibliography of over 200 references.
Also included are maps of US distribution for all
plant species. This book is intended to serve as a
resource for regulatory and plant protection agencies
worldwide.

You may contact Ms. Yun Wu to get a copy. Following is
her address :

If you have any questions with the book, please feel
free to contact me.
