Japanese knotweed / Asiatic bittersweet
 

I am certainly glad to see knotweed on the list. As a member of our river preservation association, I am especially concerned about the impact of it in riparian zones. I would like to see the invasive bittersweet on the list. I find it to have potential for significantly  altering our forest ecosystems.
