How to ID Ranalisma rostrata

Post by ingg »

I do believe I'm growing it, and have been bringing it to club auction a time or two as dwarf sag. :)

How can I tell the difference between the two?

thats drarf sag. Ranalisma rostrata is much smaller and has a very frail leaf.
Pull it out of the water and it won't hold its shape.

Umm, now I am thinking...

It ain't these little tiny puffs of grass, is it? These two baby things have been sitting not growing and not dying, for a while now, caught them as hangers-on in one purchase or another.

This is another one I have no idea what it actually is, heh.
