Alternathera .......Naturel view of villages

Top videos of NATUREAlternanthera philoxeroides can thrive in both dry and aquatic environments[4] and is characterized by whitish, papery flowers along its short stalks, irregular, or sprawling hollow stems, and simple and opposite leaf pattern sprouting from its nodes.[3] It is also considered a herbaceous plant due to its short-lived shoot system.[5] It produces horizontal stems, otherwise known as stolons, that can sprout up to 10 metres (33 ft) in length and thanks to its hollow stems, floats easily. This results in large clusters of stem amassing and create dense mats along the surface.[5] Bisexual flowers are small, white, and born on dense, axillary spikes (type of raceme).[6] Presence of a peduncle is a key trait that distinguishes this species from the sessile inflorescences of Alternanthera sessilis.[6] While seed production has been observed in its native range, there is currently no record of viable A. philoxeroides seeds in the introduced range. The weed's intricate root system can either allow them to hang free in the water to absorb nutrients or directly penetrate the soil/sediment and pull their nutrients from below.[5]
