Some people have suggested that BRACKEN FERN (Pteridium) is the world's most common plant. Plankton, moss, or algae might also qualify, oceanic cyanobacteria being the world's most numerous plants by far. Seagrass, which are flowering plants, are another very common plant. Or the common reed (Phragmites australis) which is sometimes indigenous and sometimes a weed.

Many of the following plants are highly invasive weeds capable of making extinct entire communities of native plant species. Some of these plants have a natural range in which the plant communities or even plants themselves are threatened by human impact, and by the outside influences that humans create. These plants may also on occasion be controlled within their natural range, to stop them from outcompeting other plants that have been endangered by human-induced encroachment (such as the introduction of foreign plants).
