Hi Jane & Michael M
We have used the name Cycnogeton for other sightings of this genus :
https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Species/Sightings/3532
&
https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Species/Sightings/14197
Which is correct?

Hi Michael,
Plant Net, Flora Vic and ACT Plant Census 4.1 are all using Cycnogeton as genus for this species (and for procerum). Triglochin is retained for T. striata but this is not likely in current project boundary (salt marsh species).
