Widespread High-Risk Invasive Species Were Identified Where Control Would Be Possible. Apparently Expanding Their Ranges And It Is Probably Only A Matter Of Time Before [This] Species Are Much More Widespread, Unless Significant Action Is Taken To Control Them.

Introduced From Southern South America. (Creation of a Risk Assessment Protocol for Cultivated Species in the Falkland Islands and Volunteer invasive plant recording sheet (Unknown).); Several Species Are Still Apparently Expanding Their Ranges And It Is Probably Only A Matter Of Time Before A Range Of Species Which Are Well Adapted To Grazing, Cool Temperatures And The Poor Soils Of Heathland And Acid Grassland Habitats Are Much More Widespread Unless Significant Action Is Taken To Control Them. These Species Include. Berberis Microphylla. (Creation of a Risk Assessment Protocol for Cultivated Species in the Falkland Islands and Volunteer invasive plant recording sheet (Unknown).);
Cultivated and naturalised. Some plants controlled (R. Lewis 2013). Rare. East Falkland (Bluff Cove, Cantera, Ceritos House, Cortley Hill, Darwin, Egg Harbour, Fitzroy, Head of the Bay, Island Harbour, Port Sussex, Salvador, Stanley, Teal Creek, Teal Creek House), West Falkland (Fox Bay West, Hill Cove Forest, Port Stephens), Keppel Island.

This Barberry Species Is A Very Common Garden And Hedge Plant In Stanley, Where It Grows Into Large Bushes And Spreads Onto Surrounding Land. Calafate Has Also Been Planted In Gardens Around Camp Where Some Plants Have Become The Source Of Major Infestations Onto Surrounding Farmland. The Two Largest Known Infestations Are Currently At Cantera And Port Sussex, With A Smaller Spread Of Calafate Recorded On Farmland At Island Harbour. Calafate Is Also Present On Keppell Island (B. Summers, Pers. Comm.). (Whitehead, J. (2008) Priorities for Control: A Risk Assessment of Introduced Species on the Falkland Islands. South Atlantic Invasive Species Project );

One of the introduced species posing the highest threat to native flora. Such species are of equal concern to farmers and conservationists alike with their ability to smother native vegetation and to contaminate wool with serious economic implications. (Upson, R. (2012).
