Invasive Species Resources for Alabama

Return to US State Lists

Did you know? The Legislature designated the non-native camellia (Camellia japonica L.) (pictured at right) as the official State Flower of Alabama.

Since the camellia is not a native plant, Alabama also chose a native species as the State Wildflower - the Oak-Leaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia Bartr.) (pictured left).
