EPPO Reporting Service (2013/068) : The situation of Egeria densa in Austria
Transient (casual) populations of Egeria densa (Hydrocharitaceae, EPPO List of Invasive Alien Plants) have been observed in 3 locations in Austria:
- In Vienna in Alte Donau, according to Forstner & Hübl (1971);
- In Steiermark, in a small lake near Graz, according to Fritsch (1930);
- In Kärnten in ‘Warmbad Villach’, according to Melzer (1983).
These populations did not establish in Austria, and it is suspected that the presence of E. densa in these locations was due disposal of aquatic waste.
