One notorious imported plant in to Britain, is the Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica). It is nowadays classed as an extremely, hard to eradicate, invasive plant. In the UK and Australia, it is illegal to have this species growing on one's property (though it is still seen, usually by the roadside or in neglected gardens). Rabbits are on invasive animal that was introduced into Australia, in the 18th century with the First Fleet , to become a very serious pest.
Mink escaping from mink farms, where they were bred for their fur, have become a serious pest and they are very destructive to many native wildlife species.
