Aquatic plants of India

[dw1305]

Hi all,
The Potomageton looks very much like one I used to have (I may still have it, but I'm not sure where).

"A1Matt" kindly had it identified for me on the LFKC forum <Plant - ID Potamogeton>.

cheers Darrel

Hey guys just wanted to make this thread to display aquatic plants which are found in India.

Here, in my country one needs to pay lot to get aquatic plants which they desire for. Some of our native mosses and ferns especially are exported. Some of us here didn't even know of its existence. We didn't know until recently that Hygrophila pinnatifida is an Indian plant.

So here's a thread of the Indian plants. Hope you guys like it.

(Admin if this thread has to be moved please move it. I wasn't sure if it fits)

First plant:
Crepidomanes cf. malabaricum

A small epiphytic that is found growing on barks of trees close to streams. Usually found in very humid foresty areas. I was able to get a sample collected from the wild and I've been using it in my upcoming scapes.
