Cabomba

a genus of aquatic plants of the family Cabom-baceae, formerly included in the Nymphaeaceae family. These plants are perennial grasses with creeping rootstock. The alternate, long-petioled leaves are submerged (finely dissected) and floating (entire, peltate, and leathery). The flowers are solitary and on long peduncles. There are three sepals, three petals, and three to six stamens. The fruit is three-seeded. Around seven species are found in tropical and subtropical America. Several species, including C. aquatica and C. rosifolia, are cultivated in aquariums. Plants of this genus are propagated with pieces of rhizome.

The funding will aim to rid the Territory of the only known remaining infestation of Cabomba, since its initial detection in 2004 in Darwin River.

The funding will also allow new approaches to be developed and implemented including the use of new herbicides and bund wall construction, technical equipment such as drones and custom spraying equipment to help remove cabomba plants, seed banks and silt.
