The introduction of alien Asteraceae into the states of Telangana and residual Andhra Pradesh is described based on extensive field studies, together with screening available herbarium specimens, floras and taxonomic reports. The centres of origin, growth and lifeform nature, habit, habitats they occupy, year of first report, minimum residence time, and district-wise occurrence are compiled. Possible ecological implications of the incidence of these alien species are discussed.
