  1. hydrilla

    Hydrilla is a type of aquatic plant, often considered a weed, that grows in freshwater bodies such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. It is characterized by its long stems that can reach up to 25 feet in length and its small, pointed leaves that grow in bunches of four to eight around the stem. Native to Asia, Hydrilla can grow rapidly and densely, often causing problems by blocking waterways, killing native plants, and disrupting aquatic ecosystems.

  1. Hydrilla

    Hydrilla is a genus of aquatic plant, usually treated as containing just one species, Hydrilla verticillata, though some botanists divide it into several species. Synonyms include H. asiatica, H. japonica, H. lithuanica, and H. ovalifolica. It is native to the cool and warm waters of the Old World in Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia, with a sparse, scattered distribution; in Europe, it is reported from Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, and the Baltic States, and in Australia from Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales. The stems grow up to 1–2 m long. The leaves are arranged in whorls of two to eight around the stem, each leaf 5–20 mm long and 0.7–2 mm broad, with serrations or small spines along the leaf margins; the leaf midrib is often reddish when fresh. It is monoecious, with male and female flowers produced separately on a single plant; the flowers are small, with three sepals and three petals, the petals 3–5 mm long, transparent with red streaks. It reproduces primarily vegetatively by fragmentation and by rhizomes and turions, and flowers are rarely seen. Hydrilla has a high resistance to salinity compared to many other freshwater associated aquatic plants.
