Popcorn Tree/Chinese Tallow Seeds.

The "popcorn" of this tree is often used in ornamental displays. However, this practice is not suggested because the seeds can be easily spread. Once these trees become established, they are almost impossible to remove from the habitat.

Cogon Grass

Cogon grass can invade and overtake disturbed ecosystems, forming a dense mat of thatch and leaves that makes it nearly impossible for other plants to coexist.Cogon grass displaces a large variety of native plant species used by native animals (e.g., insects, mammals, and birds) as forage, host plants and shelter. Some ground-nesting species have also been known to be displaced due to the dense cover that cogon grass creates.
