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.}, DOI = {10.6165/tai.2004.49(1).16} }
