General Comments:
The author identified the plant now in the USF Herbarium for Hillsborough County. It was taking over a near-coastal borrow pond being used as a wetland mitigation area. It seems likely that this plant was an escape from a nearby area where the plant was being cultivated for the aquarium trade. This county (and two others) have not been included on our maps since our maps are based on the areas where the species are native and appropriate to grow.
This plant is used in the aquarium trade and may also be used in bog gardens.
Please do not transport this plant to other areas since it has the potential to be invasive.
