Invasive Species - Alligator Weed



Alligator weed or "Alternanthera Philoxeroids" is an invasive species to Australia. It originaly came from South America. It can grow on dry land but is mostly found in water. Alligator weed stems are long, branched and hollow. Alligator weed grows during the warm months and has whitish papery flowers that grow on stalks. The alligator weed flea beetle is used to contain this invasive species. This plant SUCKS for people with allergies. Like Me. :O
