Kidney-leaf mud plantain (Heteranthera reniformis)

Kidney leaf mud plantain is a water weed capable of forming dense mats in shallow freshwater and on damp soil at the water’s edge. In Hornsby Shire it could be found in ponds, aquariums, fish tanks, water features, dams, and waterways, dumped in bushland or roadsides, or being sold online. Notify Council if you see this plant in Hornsby Shire or see evidence of it being traded (including online), carried, grown, or released into the environment. Try to avoid kidney leaf mud plantain from being introduced onto to your land. If you find it on your property, prevent it from spreading from your land where possible, especially into bushland, watercourses, dams, or spreading seeds or plant fragments down stormwater drains.
