It's what we've been calling Lilaeopsis sp. 'micro'. It looks quite possible that it's a plant called Lilaeopsis tenuis (there is not a species called minima - a trade name masquerading as a species name), but we'll have to get flowers and fruit to tell. I have a paper on the subject if anyone is interested and I'll try to get in touch with the author soon.

Not for me either, which is quite vexing. The author of the paper seems to have had good luck flowering many species, so perhaps we can supply him with some.

Cavan;
I'd be interested in reading the paper.
I currently have L. "minima" that I've had growing emersed for over a year. Nice stand but like you and Sean, no flowers.
I wonder if it needs some sort of physiological stimulus to induce flowering. Something like cooler water temps (spring rainy season), partial drying, change in photoperiod?
