TLDR
The two free-floating aquatic weeds Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) and Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) feature among the world's 100 most invasive plants and animals.Abstract:
The two free-floating aquatic weeds—salvinia (Salvinia molesta) and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) —feature among the world’s 100 most invasive plants and animals. Both occur widely in India as also in most other countries of the tropical and sub-tropical region. In this brief review the attributes of the two weeds, with special reference to their role in phytoremediation, are presented.read more
