It closely resembles another native milfoil, called northern water milfoil (M. sibiricum) Whorled water milfoil is also easily confused with four types of invasive milfoils: Eurasian water milfoil (M. spicatum), Variable water-milfoil (M. heterophyllum), Parrot feather (M. aquaticum), and hybrid water milfoil (M. heterophyllum X M. laxum). In many areas it is an invasive aquatic plant. |
