Lovely example of persistence - over 9 years (2015 to 2024). In November 2024, its looking pretty much as when photographed back in November 2015; vegetative both times.
In his revision of Myriophyllum, Orchard (1985) says it often co-occurs with Myriophyllum integrifolium (and looks almost indistinguishable, according to his drawings). They can be separated with reproductive material: glomeratum has flowers and fruits are solitary in axils, where they are in fascicles for M. integrifolium. Perhaps if the habitat wets up and gives the plants a chance to flower, you could have a look for integrifolium ? ?
Any comments about the habitat and its water regime ? For M. glomeratum, Orchard describes it as winter-wet depressions, and seepages.
