AI view on google search says: "*Cabomba aquatica* is not explicitly reported as a naturalized, invasive species in Sri Lanka in recent, specific field studies, but it is known to be traded within the country's ornamental aquarium plant industry. [image: ResearchGate]ResearchGate - Trade and Presence: A 2013 study recorded *C. aquatica* along with *C. caroliniana* and *C. furcata* as species traded within the aquarium plant industry in Sri Lanka. - Similar Species (Invasive): While *C. aquatica* is in the trade, studies highlight *Cabomba furcata* (red cabomba) as the species that has been detected as a "potential invasive plant" in natural ecosystems (e.g., Kalutara district) of Sri Lanka. - Species Distinction: *Cabomba furcata* is specifically identified as an established, invasive species in Sri Lanka. - Overall Distribution: *Cabomba* species are non-native to Sri Lanka and are introduced through the aquarium trade. [image: ResearchGate]ResearchGate +2 In summary, *Cabomba aquatica* exists in the ornamental trade in Sri Lanka, but *Cabomba furcata* is the species currently highlighted as an invasive, naturalized threat in the country.
