| Elodea
canadensis (canadian pondweed) is a commonly
cultivated species of fishponds and aquaria, but has escaped
to become a common and troublesome aquatic weed of ponds and
streams in Tasmania. It grows submerged, and forms a tangled
mass of stems. The leaves are soft and in whorls of three
(two on lower branches). It resembles its relative Egeria
densa, but has thinner stems and smaller leaves
and flowers. |
