Sign in to saveAlso known as waterthyme
Hydrilla (waterthyme) is a genus of aquatic plants, usually treated as containing just one species — Hydrilla verticillata, but some botanists divide it into several species. It is native to the cool and warm waters of the Old World in Asia, Africa, and Australia, with a sparse, scattered distribution; in Australia it occurs from the Northern Territory to Queensland and New South Wales.
