Limnobium laevigatum (Frogbit)

This plant is a prohibited matter. 

Frogbit is a floating aquatic weed. Plants develop very quickly to form mats of runners.

Frogbit is a floating freshwater plant from Central and South America. It has been kept and traded for use in fish ponds, aquariums and water features. It can rapidly invade and smother waterways and is a serious biosecurity threat to NSW. 

Plants can form into large mats of runners and adult plants can develop very quickly. Juvenile plants have a great capacity for distribution in that they are small and can be easily and quickly carried along by water currents.
