CHECKLIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF FINLAND, based on Kurtto, A. & Lahti, T. 1987: Suomen putkilokasvien luettelo (Checklist of the vascular plants of Finland). - Pamphl. Bot. Mus. Univ. Helsinki 11: I.-VI + 1-163. The list includes all the vascular plants found in Finland up to 1987, excluding those only in cultivation (i.e. taxa found during the past few years - mainly casual plants or plants escaping from cultivation are missing, and erroneous records of the 1987 list have not been corrected)

Acta Botanica Malacitana 26 264-276. [English abstract] We have included also some unpublished recent data within this list. The species have been arranged first by their invasive character (from higher to lower). Within the most aggressive, species have been presented by their morphology (herbaceous, woody, and so on). Within species are alphabetically listed. Consideration of `Invasiveness' follows the recent proposal by Richardson, D., Pysek, P., Rejmanek, M., Barbour, M.G., Panetta, F.D. & West, C.J. 2000.
