Ludwigia peruviana, also known as Peruvian primrose-willow or Peruvian water primrose, is a flowering plant that grows up to 12 feet tall and is native to Peru. It has been introduced in many other countries for its attractive yellow flowers, but has become a common weed in swampy areas around the world. This plant forms dense colonies along shorelines and can cause navigation issues, damage structures, and compete with native vegetation. It is considered an invasive species in Florida and a noxious weed in Australia.
