Cycnogeton procerum
Water ribbons is an Australian aquatic herb with flat, strap-like leaves that often float on the water surface. It grows best submerged in slow-flowing or still shallow water in full sun or part shade.
Cycnogeton procerum (formerly Triglochin procera), is an Australian aquatic plant species in the family Juncaginaceae. It is commonly referred to as 'water ribbons', but has many other names in Indigenous Australian languages, including Po-lan-go (Koorie name) and Gabirr (Marra name).
Cycnogeton procerum has been cultivated for its ornamental qualities, especially in aquatic garden settings and water features. It grows well in a variety or garden settings and is commercially available in Australian plant and indigenous nurseries.
Ideal growing conditions are in slow-flowing water to 2 m (7 ft) deep with full sun or semi-shaded areas.
Cycnogeton procerum is found in fresh or brackish water, commonly in shallow lakes, ponds or slow-flowing streams. It is native to Australia, commonly occurring in all states, except rarely in Queensland. It is most widespread across South eastern Australia and Tasmania.
