New vascular plant records and the increase of exotic plants in Glacier National Park, Montana

Lesica P, Ahlenslager K, Desanto JS. 1993. New vascular plant records and the increase of exotic plants in Glacier National Park, Montana. Madroño. 40(2):126-131

Article presents a list of 39 additions to the flora of Glacier National Park. Fourteen of the species listed are exotic weeds. Both the number of exotics and the number of visitors have increased at an accelerating rate since 1920. These findings suggest that control of exotics will be an increasingly difficult task for managers of popular reserves.
