Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal aquatic vegetation occurs in freshwater wetlands of lakes, rivers, and ponds, in areas which are permanently or semipermanently flooded. The dominant growth forms are floating, rooting and submerged aquatic vegetation. The most common species include the exotics <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides, Egeria densa, Eichhornia crassipes, Ludwigia peploides, Pistia stratiotes</i>, and <i>Salvinia molesta</i>. In cool temperate regions, <i>Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, Myriophyllum spicatum</i>, and <i>Trapa natans</i> are locally common.
