The variable morphology of this widespread species also resulted in many taxonomic problems, which can be deduced from its many nomenclatural synonyms ( +Carvalho & Machado 2015 +). + + +Invasive risk evaluation: + +Mayaca fluviatilis + +can produce young seedlings by both vegetative propagation and seed germination. Its seeds can maintain viability after drying for six weeks and after at least 12 weeks in submerged conditions ( +Thieret 1975 +). Further experiment about the propagation ability of fragmented vegetative parts of + +Mayaca fluviatilis + +showed that even the +2 cm +fragment of the terminal shoots was capable of developing into a new plant ( +Yakandawala & Dissanayake 2010 +). It can +form dense +mats to block freshwater ponds, steams and drainage ditches under favourable conditions and might smother and replace native aquatic plant species. This plant has been a pest within parts of its native range, particularly in +Puerto Rico +and the +US +( +Florida +and +North Carolina +) and it was assessed to be high week risk in +Australia +( +Csurhes & Hankamer 2016 +). To control the fast propagation of this aquatic alien plant, it is necessary to remove even the smallest stem fragments from its naturalised habitats, but it is impossible to totally eradicate them once it has been established locally and the effective control, even application of herbicide, remains elusive ( +Madigan & Vitelli 2012 +). + + +In +China +, this species is very common in the collection area. The environmental factors in south +China +are mostly similar to those in its native and other naturalised habitats and can satisfy the propagation and dispersal of + +Mayaca fluviatilis + +. Although the impact of + +M. fluviatilis + +is negligible since it is restricted to a small area currently, much attention must be paid to the potential threat to local aquatic environment in tropical and subtropical wetlands of +China +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
