MSU Extension News -- Is this aquatic plant invasive?

To help Michiganders identify invasive aquatic plants, Michigan State University Extension created a series of illustrated identification cards.

Each card includes a full-color illustration of an invasive aquatic plant, highlighting key features that distinguish it from other Michigan species. In most cases, the opposite side of the card features a similar-looking native plant for comparison. Each card also includes instructions on how to report the invasive species if you suspect you have found it.
