Name That Plant - Thailand II

Hi All - this is part II of this post.

Not sure if anyone in the forums has ever been to Bangkok, Thailand - but there is an impressive market here called Chatuchak (also called the weekend market). In one area there is a dedicated aquatic plant section (along with several fish shops). While my Thai is okay, they have Thai names for most of the plants on sale there, and since I'm fairly new to the hobby, only a few that I recognize. I've offered to print a small guide to the plants that are most commonly available at the market (I'm doing this for free), and will make a note of both the Thai, English common, and Latin names of the plants that can be identified.

So - if anyone here can name a plant in the series of pics below - I'd be very grateful.

46/ there are diferent mosses. One in front is most likely 'flame-moss'.
47/ impossible to tell, really - looks like something has been eating from it !!
48/ very uncertain - could be 'weeping-moss'.
49/ uncertain - but look very much like 'spiky-moss'.
50/ Egeria densa.
 
Wow wow - thank you so much Mick and Hogan! Amazing :) And yup - 49 is spikey moss. I bought some, and separated all of the small branches out and tied them to my driftwood. 90% sure it's spikey and not peacock moss.

Hogan53 - am I write in assuming that you've started at No 1-26 on this page - but are referring to 26-50 correct?

You're welcome. Hope it will help you.
- I find it stupid, to sell plants, not naming them. Customers need at least a name, to find info on care and demands.
Nice of you, to provide those names :thumbup:
 
Hi Mick - yeah that's the idea, in particular as I wanted to know which plants might be suitable for me to start with. I'll be printing A4 laminated cheats and giving them to the vendors. ;)
