Aquatic or not aquatic

[Martin in Holland]

I went to one of my favorite places just outside the city and took some snapshots of plants that grow here. I was wondering if any of them is aquatic or rather, can I dump it into my tank? I am hoping that one of them (the one with the blue flowers) is Murdannia keisak.......









Names would be welcome too.
Anyway, I hope you like the pictures non the less.....

Here a picture of the stream.

If they're not they seem to be heading for water anyway🙂 you can see the roots in pic six. Nice pics too. Pic four look similar to bacopa in its imersed not emersed.

Ooooh-kaayyyy ..........I'll give it a try
1 ans 2/ is defenitely some Comeliaceae, like Murdannia keisak - but my keisak has white flowers.
3/ look like some kind of Alternanthera
4/ could be a Bacoba or a Lindernia, maybe. I see no flowers, only seedcapsules.
5 and 6/ is the " look like Alternanthera" again, isn't it ?
7/ is quite surely a Hygrophila, of some kind.
8/ I really wouldn't dare even a guess.
9/ I remember having seen ad a weed, before.....but I really can't remember the name, sorry.
And 10 is just wonderfull lush........

Hi all,

I went to one of my favorite places just outside the city and took some snapshots of plants that grow here. I was wondering if any of them is aquatic or rather, can I dump it into my tank? I am hoping that one of them (the one with the blue flowers) is Murdannia keisak.......

I think this one is Commelina communis (or pretty close).

None of them are aquatics as such, they are all emergents, but a lot of the plants sold as aquarium plants are no more aquatic, so some may work.

I won't do any better than "Mick.Dk" witht he ID's, but the one with the little knots of flowers may be an Alternanthera sp., but my suspicion is somewhere close to Lythrum portula.

The one that looks like a Bacopa may well be or possibly a Veronica (they both belong to the same family Scrophulariaceae). The white flowered one might be a Lysimachia, I'd need a better picture of the flower to get it to a Family (Hygrophila is Acanthaceae).

I don't know what the yellow composite is (might be Bidens).

cheers Darrel

Looks like some sorta persicaria - kinda like amphibious bistort.

thanks guys....I keep looking for Murdannia keisak than (white flowers...not blue and probably smaller leaves).
Maybe more interesting to see is http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/what-how-did-they-get-here.34586/ which is for sure immersed.
