Lagarosiphon [Lagarosiphon]

Description

Lagarosiphon is a genus of aquatic plants known for its invasive species, particularly Lagarosiphon major, often called curly waterweed. These plants have long, spiraling stems and small, crowded leaves, which can form dense mats in freshwater bodies. While they provide habitat and food for some aquatic species, their rapid growth can lead to significant ecological and economic problems, hindering water flow and affecting native biodiversity.
