Egeria densa, the large-flowered waterweed[1] or Brazilian waterweed, is a species of Egeria native to warm temperate South America in southeastern Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.[2][3] It is considered a problematic invasive species due to its use in home aquariums and subsequent release into non-native ecosystems.
