I'm not certain but possibly Frogbit. Growing in a suburban pond but I thought that if it is indeed Frogbit then it should certainly be reported.

@Parks818 @ACTBio-security This one has been sitting around for a while I don't think it is frog bit but you should take a look.

Hi Michael I spoke with act parks a while ago and removed it out of an abundance of caution. Should have deleted the record but forgot to so I’ll do that now.

I don't know if we'll ever get a positive ID (unless these photos are enough) as I was communicating during lockdown so no one could visit to inspect it so we decided to remove it just in case. Yes Ciaran we put some nardoo in its place which is growing nicely.
