The present study aims to deal with impact of invasive alien plants species of family Solanaceae in Rajouri district (J&K, India) with background information on habit and nativity. A total of 03 invasive alien plant species have been recorded, which include Physalis angulata L., Solanum viarum Dunal and Datura stramonium L. The result reveals that most species have been introduced unintentionally through trade, agriculture and other anthropogenic activities. The nativity of Physalis angulata L. is of American and that of Datura stramonium L. is of Mexico and Tropical America while the origin of Solanum viarum Dunal is from Argentina and Brazil . Addressing the problem of invasive alien species is urgent because the threat is growing daily, and the economic and environmental impacts are severe. There is utmost need of proper methods for early detection to control and reporting of infestations of spread of new and naturalized weeds.
