Re: introduced exotics (sort of OT)



Add to your list of really dangeous aquatic plants- Salvinia molesta.  I had a bad experience with this and had to get the Dept. of Conservation to help me eradicate it from my ponds.   I know in got there from someone in the AKA selling it as a good aquarium plant. WATCH OUT  You can diagnose it if the hairs on the leaves fuse at the tips forming a tiny basket.  Best seen with a microscope or good magnifying glass.  Joe in Al..
