Water Hyacinth Family

It may have pretty purple flowers, but Eichhornia crassipes can be a green menace. Introduced to Africa from the neotropics, this invasive weed is choking Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest lake. Water hyacinth has carpeted vast stretches of the lake, fouling fishing nets and blocking harbors. Ari Daniel Shapiro teams with reporter in the field, Gastive Oyani, to speak with local fishermen and botanist Helida Oyieke. They learn how the lake and the lives of the people who depend on it are responding to this weedy challenge. read moreDuration: 5:30Published: Tue, 03 May 2011 17:32:59 +0000

Jeniang, Kedah, Malaysia.Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. Pontederiaceae. CN: [Malay - Keladi bunting, Kameling telur, Bunga jamban], Lilac devil, Water hyacinth. Native to Northern South America (French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, Brazil). Widely naturalized in tropics and subtropics. Ornamental, Soil improver (green manure). Plants perennial , typically free-floating. Vegetative stems condensed, except when branching. Flowering stems erect , bending over after flowering, to 25 cm, distal internode less than 4 cm. Sessile leaves in basal rosette. Very prolific growth and the dense mat-like floating vegetation contributed to clogged drains, waterways and rivers. Probably the most aggressive aquatic weed ever known in the tropics. Eradication of filariasis was also claimed hindered by this plant due to the ability of the Mansonia mosquito larvae to breathe via the spongy airy roots.Synonym(s):Pontederia crassipes Mart.
