Invasive species[edit]

Linaria dalmatica is listed as a noxious weed in 12 U.S. states.[3] It is a grassland invader native to the Mediterranean region, and it was introduced to North America in the late 1800s. It has fast-growing strong, horizontal roots, and can withstand cold, and is a problem for farms and grasslands in the interior of British Columbia.[4]
