| description:
|
Water lettuce is a free-floating plant aquatic weed found in tropical countries worldwide, although with no clear country of origin. Water lettuce was introduced to Australia as an aquarium and water-garden plant. It rapidly forms dense infestations that cover the surface of entire rivers, dams and irrigation channels. It affects water flow, damages native ecosystems, and impedes recreational use of water bodies. |
