The Research List is a list of plants about which more information is desired. This is not a regulatory list or an invasive plant list. Plants are not necessarily listed here prior to inclusion on an invasive plant list. Rather, more information about these plants and their occurrence in the state is desired and current records are limited.
— Bamboo Information
(Note: Bamboo does not meet the criteria for being listed as invasive, but is considered harmful; and the State has enacted statutes pertaining to the Bamboo genus Phyllostachys)
