A couple of Plant ID's

Post by eleontie »

I need help id-ing some of the following plants. They were collected from various locations, for most I have no clue what they are.

Number 1,2,3,4: were collected from a bay in New Brunswick, Canada. ( I have 2 more microphylum like plants that still need to show some sign of growth before they are picture worthy)
Number 5 DC, Potomac.

1.First one is what I think Utricularia Geminiscapa:

2. No clue :

3. From the root looks vaguely like Nymphoides aquatica, but the leaves and roots are not quite there ...

4. Looks similar to dwarf sag, but yet different ( it did not manage to grow fully yet in my tank to look like when I collected it ) . The rosette is much nicer , it opens up more and grows outwards(close to the ground) instead of upwards like sag, leaves are thicker and wider:

The dwarf saggitaria is on the left. The new plant on the right for comparison.

5. This one collected from the Potomac. Vaguely resembles Potamogeton gayi in the way the leaves form. The leaves are wavy , wider:

#2 is a Potamogeton... perfoliatus maybe?

#4 could be a stunted broad leaf sag. :?:

#5 Another Potamogeton. I don't think it's gayi. could be crispus.

I think Cristy's right on the money on those.

Thank you for the help . I am not sure which ones I will keep and which not , I will let them grow for a while before I decide if I can give them any aesthetic value.

Eugen;

I believe you're right on the Utric. I would be interested in some of that when it gets a bit bigger.

Cheers.
Jim
