ELODEA CRISPA - finding the government info?
Fire
Posts: 19,092
I have been looking for a government webpage marking E. Crispa as an invasive plant which is no longer available for sale. I find lots of references to the status but not a formal policy statement. Does anyone have a link? I would like to pass to it to online traders still selling the plant.
Thanks

^ this one has Eichhornia as water hyacinth, and a different Elodea listed.
Got to get off train and sort out Trill's dinner now so that's as far as I can go.
