Hall's Honeysuckle (Japanese Honeysuckle) / Lonicera japonica is just one example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonicera_japonica
Even though it is a highly invasive and destructive plant, this species is often sold by American nurseries as the cultivar 'Hall's Prolific' (Lonicera japonica var. halliana)...
It's specifically listed as invasive by most state agricultural extensions.

Thanks for the ping; I’ll alert the Troops!
When I managed a Garden Center, we were very aware of this - and stopped selling certain things; Barberry and Honeysuckle immediately come to mind.
It was a constant ‘education process’ to explain to customers why we weren’t selling some items, anymore.
Every year we’d get a current list from our local DNR as to what was going on. It wasn’t a LOT of plants; not as extensive as the list you posted, but Wisconsin is mainly Zone 4 & 3, with a smattering of Zone 5 - and a lot of ‘invasives’ can’t make it through a Wisconsin Winter, anyhow.
I agree that some of the invasive/imported BIRDS are a bigger problem than plant material. But, what do I know? I’m just your average uneducated RUBE in the eyes of Mother Government, who always knows best. *Rolleyes* ;)
