Whoever it is that wishes to propagate the anti-invasive hysteria by removing my edits, perhaps you should get educated. Start by double checking my references, and if they hold true (which they do), then leave them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.188.30 (talk) 17:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Does it matter what Theodoropoulos (a.k.a "J.L. Hudson seedsman") thinks a native plant is, or his opinion on the impact of exotic species? He's not a scientist, he sells seeds. Anyone interested in this subject should read the invasive species and introduced species articles.Arenaria (talk) 02:39, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Native" is commonly used to describe plants (and animals) which have self-introduced to an area, regardless of whether this occurred in geologic time (which I assume means very long periods, as opposed to historical time). I added a para to cover this, but then realised that the text of the first para. says "many years" which in normal English does not mean geologic eras. The example I used in my edit (q.v.) has been indigenous for over 150 years, which is "many" in common parlance, but certainly not geologic. Perhaps someone who monitors this page could resolve this apparent contradiction. NB - WP page indigenous (ecology) uses "native" and "indigenous" as synonyms which seems reasonable to me.

And another thing... the above applies equally to fauna, so shouldn't this page be called Native (ecology) ? Chrismorey (talk) 01:13, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

FYI

See discussion to move indigenous (ecology) to native species. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 20:14, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
