Mike this is the second posting in two days of a plant used in wetland restoration that was not the species thought to be planted - the other was of a Marselia species at Hackett. Fortunately in both cases the species mis-planted was in fact a local species, but perhaps we should keep an eye on this - what are the details of your planting

I will check this. Having the wrong name can be a problem but so could having the wrong species. When I was told the species I noted that M. papillosum is not on the ACT Plant Census.

This is Myriophyllum crispatum: there are too many leaves per whorl to be M. simulans. Its not clear (in the photo) if there are crisped hairs on the stem (diagnostic for M. crispatum, if present).
