Myriophyllum implicatum |
Myriophyllum implicatum is a species of water milfoil in the family Haloragaceae. [1] It is native to north-eastern Australia (to New South Wales and Queensland). [2]
It was first described in 1986 by Anthony Orchard. [1] [3]
In New South Wales, it is listed as critically endangered, [4] but under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 of Queensland it is listed as of least concern. [5]
Myriophyllum implicatum is a creeping dioecious herb, which roots freely at its nodes. The alternate leaves are linear and entire and from 2.5 mm to 5 mm long. The flowers are axillary with the male flowers having a short pedicel, while the female flowers are sessile. [2] [4] The red-purple fruit is sessile and cube shaped. [2]
