Moraceae	Fatoua	Crabweed
Moraceae	Fatoua villosa	Crabweed, Mulberry-weed, Foolish-weed	Disturbed areas, vegetable and flower gardens, landscaped areas around institutional buildings.	Native of Asia (apparently se. Asian islands). As discussed by Massey (1975) and Vincent (2004), Fatoua was first reported in the United States (Louisiana) in the early 1960s. As of 2004, its distribution in North America had spread to include 28 states and the District of Columbia, including most states except the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains (Vincent 2004, Sundell et al. 1999, Miller & Wood 2003). Since all early collections seem to be in and around greenhouses and nurseries, it is likely that it has been introduced in horticultural material, perhaps repeatedly (Kral 1981b). Fatoua appears to have become a fairly aggressive weed in eastern North America. It can be expected to continue to spread, and has the potential to become noxious.

Moraceae	Ficus carica	Edible Fig, Garden Fig	Grown for its fruits, persistent from plantings, persisting and naturalizing particularly on barrier islands, where it sometimes forms thickets on dunes, or otherwise in the outer Coastal Plain, where proximity to the ocean ameliorates cold winter temperatures.	Native of w. Asia.

Moraceae	Ficus pumila	Climbing Fig	Walls, disturbed urban areas.	Native of s. Asia. Locally common in Charleston, Savannah, Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, and other old seaports, where grown on walls as an ornamental, more recently planted more extensively in the South, especially but not strictly in the Coastal Plain, commonly persisting and also spreading vegetatively into disturbed urban areas (cf. Diamond 2013).
Moraceae	Ficus religiosa	Bo-tree	Cultivated and naturalizing (limestone rock walls, brick walls, palm 'boots').	Native of s. Asia.
Moraceae	Maclura	Osage-orange
Moraceae	Maclura pomifera	Osage-orange, Bow-wood, Bois-d'arc, Hedge-apple	Dry-mesic to mesic upland forests and woodlands, bottomland and riparian forests, stream banks, fencerows, old fields, pastures, prairies, roadsides, naturalized beyond its native range from extensive planting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.	The native distribution is obscured by early introduction eastwards and spread from cultivation, probably native to an area from sw. AR and OK south to w. LA and e. and c. TX, but possibly native also in areas like the Black Belt of MS and AL.
Moraceae	Maclura tricuspidata	Cudrania, Strawberry-bush, Che Fruit Tree, Mandarin Melonberry	Forest edges, suburban woodlands, escaped and naturalized from plantings.	Native of China and Korea, where cultivated as a food for silkworms and for its fruit (che). Naturalized in Orange County, NC, in McIntosh County, GA (Jones & Coile 1988), in Clay County, TN (D. Estes, pers. comm., 2015), and at other widely scattered locations in the South, where recommended as a hedge plant since at least 1940 (Rehder 1940).
