This species has the potential to become a serious destroyer of waterbodies and wetland habitat. It is illegal to sell but people still order it over the internet. Much safer to only buy plants from the Nursery

Thanks Jiggy - This has the potential to be a major weed of our waterways. It is illegal to sell or knowingly keep this plant - if anybody else suspects they have seen this plant please report it to Canberra Nature Map - to be dealt with by the invasive species team - please do not distribute, it could really stuff up our water bodies and the habitat they provide.
