Solanum mauritianum

Typical fruit (a relatively large number of fruit, each containing many seeds, per plant as can be seen from this image) of the bugweed plants that provide food for fruit eating birds over a period of time in the summer months, Munster, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This allows the for easy dissemination of the seed by the birds and for the rapid establishement and spread of this invasive species (Photo by D. C. Nowell available from www.ecoport.org)

The Global Invasive Species Database was developed and is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It was developed as part of the global initiative on invasive species led by the erstwhile Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) in 2000. The GISD over the past two years and has been redesigned with support from the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency, the Italian Ministry of Environment and ISPRA - the Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, Italy.
