We often talk of the usual suspects in our blog postings here on the AERF update. Hydrilla, EWM, and Water Hyacinth are but a few species with which many of us in aquatic plant management have become quite familiar. Another not-as-well-known invader is taking over many waterways in the Southeastern United States leaving behind it clogged waterways and much lost both economically and ecologically speaking. Like many invaders before it, this plant, native to asia, gained a foothold in Florida in the early 1990s and was likely introduced as a water garden plant.
