Pontederia crassipes (formerly Eichhornia crassipes), commonly known as common water hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to South America, naturalized throughout the world, and often invasive outside its native range.[1][2][3] It is the sole species of the subgenus Oshunae within the genus Pontederia.[4] Anecdotally, it is known as the "terror of Bengal" due to its invasive growth tendencies.
