“American Waterweed - A common native plant”

Elodea

            - American waterweed (Elodea Canadensis)

            - Elodea is native to lakes, ponds, and rivers

            - Elodea is often used as an aquarium plant, therefore it has been introduced            

              to parts of New Zealand, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Australia, and Africa

-To reproduce: In fall leafy stalks detach from the parent plant, float away, root, and start new plants.

-American waterweed's most important method of spreading

-Seed production plays minor role.
