Egeria (Hydrocharitaceae) 4b:8    
Egeria densa is a widely cultivated species of fishponds and aquaria, but has become uncommon aquatic weed of ponds and streams in Tasmania. It grows submerged, and forms a tangled mass of stems. The leaves are soft and in whorls of four. It resembles its relative Elodea canadensis, but has thicker stems and larger leaves and flowers.
