【Objective】The present study was made to investigate the status of invasive plants in Guangxi wetland in order to provide a scientific basis for their management in wetlands of Guangxi. 【Method】Based on literature surveys and field investigations， a systematic study was conducted to investigate different invading varieties， their distribution， invasion level， invasion channel and detrimental extent in Guangxi wetland. 【Result】Sixteen species of invasive plants belonging to 12 families have been found to be inhabitant in wetland areas of Guangxi. Amongst them， four species of Gramineae were found to be most abundant (25%). Eleven species (68.75%) were originally belonged to America. Data showed that those plants were mainly introduced for specific purposes (75%). Excluding one bush plant species， there were all herbaceous species amongst invasive plants， and the species such as Alternanthera philoxeroides， Eichhornia crassipes，Pistia stratiotes， Aster subulatus and Spartina anglica， caused severe harm to Guangxi wetland. 【Conclusion】The adverse effects of invasive species in wetland should be effectively controlled by physical， chemical and biological methods.
