Wikipedia lists invasive plants including "the kudzu vine (Pueraria), water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis)," each established in its own particular range. Browsing this way collects every pest or disease found in the same place.
