"Habitat and Ecology: This species is a freshwater amphibious herb. It is found in warmer climates and prefers flowing streams, but may also be found in slow-moving waters and in lakes. It is a fast-growing and fast-spreading species that out-shades and out-competes other submersed plants. This plant interferes with navigation and has been known to compete with other aggressive non-native invasive plants. Systems: Freshwater List of Habitats: 5, 5.1, 5.6, 5.7"
