Information from the Cookies on Invasive Species Compendium (CABI) data sheet (https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/33245; accessed 23 November 2017). All data are nonexhaustive; the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. (A) Geographical distribution. (B) Partial phylogenetic time tree of plants (timetree.org; accessed 23 November 2017). Red indicates orders with at least 1, but often more, host species. The extraordinarily broad host range of M. incognita covers most orders in the flowering plants (Magnoliophyta) but is apparently restricted to flowering plants—although this may reflect testing bias.
