In warmer regions of North America many newly introduced plants are cultivated widely and others are becoming aggresive naturalized weeds. A large number are insect-pollinated and shed considerable quantities of airborne pollen. Levels of allergenicity based on skin test data, numbers of patients having immediate hypersensitivity and localities where airborne pollen grains have been identified are presented for each genus of entomophilous plants considered incitants of pollinosis. Among the most relevant are Acacia, Brassica, Citrus, Ligustrum, Olea and Schinus.
在北美较温暖的地区，许多新引进的植物被广泛种植，其他一些则变成了具有侵略性的归化杂草。大量植物靠昆虫授粉，并释放出大量的空气传播花粉。本文给出了根据皮肤试验数据得出的致敏性水平、患有速发型超敏反应的患者数量以及已鉴定出空气传播花粉颗粒的地点，涉及被认为是花粉症诱因的每一种虫媒植物属。其中最相关的有金合欢属、芸苔属、柑橘属、女贞属、油橄榄属和南美胡椒属。
