Rebecca Gilbert. Hokule‘a Program, Washington University in St. Louis. Background. The negative environmental and economic effects of invasive plant species are now widely appreciated. However, just 100 years ago, exotic plant introductions were widely celebrated and were part of the mission of botanical gardens around the world. As a result, an important area of research in conservation biology is to evaluate the invasive potential of plants that occur in botanical gardens. Like most botanical gardens, The Honolulu Botanical Gardens (HBG) historically had unregulated plant introductions. . Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units Network National Meeting. Scott J. Cameron.

Over the undulating plains, where these great beds occur, nothing else can live. Before their introduction, however, I apprehend the surface supported as in other parts a rank herbage. I doubt whether any case is on record of an invasion of so grand scale of one plant over the aborigines”.
