Not confident in this suggestion - might be best to leave at sp.

I think R. papulentus. Not quite enough detail or clarity to be 100% confident.

Characteristic influencing my suggestion is the general shape and configuration of the head of achenes - how they 'hug' together in a rounded bunch - examples at 3403477, 4512350 (not a very technical description !). R. papulentus (native species) seems to turn up in modified habitats (like urban waterway of Canberra).

I'll have to go back and get some better pics. There's heaps of this growing around the pond.
