Some exotic plant introductions may flourish and occasionally reproduce in an area, but do not form self-replacing populations in the absence of continued reintroductions- these are referred to as “casual” exotic plants by Richardson et al. (2000). Some exotic plant introductions reproduce consistently and sustain populations over many life cycles but do not expand from their site of introduction- these are...
