and Society of American Florists submitted formal comments on the most 
recent proposed modifications to Quarantine-37 regulations. These 
regulations govern the importation of plant propagation material into 
the United States. SAF and ANLA comments strongly opposed a proposal to 
reduce the post-entry quarantine period for /Chrysanthemum /species.

Does anyone know why Chrysanthemum is being considered for quarantine?

I agree with Gene here: Biggest aspect here it the US is quite a diverse 
nation in geography... how does one say that a plant is invasive in the 
US? Few plants I am aware of could be invasive in both Louisiana and 
high desert country.

English ivy, for example, is a useful plant in New England although it 
is invasive in the Pacific Northwest. Why not leave it to the states to 
create their own lists of banned plants?
