Title: Two weeds added to USA's Federal noxious weeds list
[USDA - APHIS - October 19, 2009] The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is amending the noxious weed regulations by adding Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum (Cavanilles) R. Brown) and maidenhair creeper (Lygodiumflexuosum (Linnaeus) Swartz) to the list of terrestrial noxious weeds. This action is necessary to prevent the artificial spread of these noxious weeds into the United States.
This interim rule is published in today’s Oct. 19 Federal Register and becomes effective upon publication.
