description:	Native to South America, hymenachne is a robust, rhizomatous, perennial grass that was originally introduced to Australia to provide ponded pasture for cattle. Hymenachne has become an unwanted pest of streambanks, shallow wetlands and irrigation ditches, primarily in the coastal wet tropics of northern Queensland. In some areas it has invaded low-lying sugarcane fields, fish habitats and natural wetlands with high conservation value. Hymenachne damages wildlife habitats and irrigation channels, and degrades recreational water quality.
