The noxious weeds list for Australia is based on the botanical name used in the legislation for each jurisdiction. In many instances, a plant may be known by a number of scientific names and common names or synonyms. We have endeavoured to construct the database in such a way as to enable the trapping of all occurrences of a plant in the list regardless of the name used.

You may search for a common weed name, a scientific (botanical) name or a combination of both.

The database program searches for an exact match of the text submitted, regardless of its position in the name. This allows searches on any part of a name. For instance, a search on 'allium' will return Allium triquetrum, Allium vineale and Echallium elaterium.

If you are unsure of the full name or the spelling of a weed, enter as much of the name as you know and allow the system to filter the results.

If you initiate a search with no information in the search fields, the entire noxious weeds list will be displayed in groups of thirty.
