Water Hyacinth: a Curse or a Crop?

Nature, 1960
AN organism often multiplies explosively when carried to a new environment. Rabbits in Australia are a familiar example, and now we have water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) in south-east Asia, the Nile, and the Congo1–3. In time, enemies of the invader will probably evolve in the new environment, or be introduced into it, and restore a balance, but ...
