Is this Rotala rotundifolia?

Hi All,

Need some help again on this plant i.d. Is it Rotala rotundifolia or could it be Rotala indica?

Pardon me for the lousy pix.

Thanks in advance
JC

I'm confused over rotundifolia and indica also, seems like they could be one and the same plant?

**taz** · 7th Feb 2006, 12:23

According to tropica website, they are the same.

**Wackytpt** · 7th Feb 2006, 12:42

If i am not wrong. Both of them are the same.

**ranmasatome** · 7th Feb 2006, 13:28

yes, and same plant.. but rotundifolia is the right name..

Rotala rotundifolia shouldn´t have red stem...

**solonavi** · 7th Feb 2006, 14:38

Found this online. Real redish stem. Maybe its a wrong i.d? http://www.aquabase.org/picture.php3...n=view&id=4549

So, I am not sure now... maybe down some special circumstances it grows with redish stem.

**Justikanz** · 7th Feb 2006, 15:06

R. indica = R.rotundifolia? *Duh*... And I was SO confused over what I had... Anyway, I threw all of mine away... You should have just gotten them from me earlier, JC...

They will grow VERY tall...

Din know u threw them away.

else could have saved a few bucks.... No worries of the height. Actually I wanted them as background plants also.

Cheers

Threw away just before CNY...

**ranmasatome** · 7th Feb 2006, 18:47

again i say...its rotundifolia... red stem or not..

just incase you're confused with rotundifolia green.

**StanChung** · 8th Feb 2006, 20:19

i once saw in lfs a red version and a green version. maybe it's just an sp.. spp.
in amano's magazine 'sui kei' there's a section where a plant[similar to photo but all green] is referenced as rotala rotundifolia 'green'.
i suppose there's a red version?

**Justikanz** · 8th Feb 2006, 23:24

I thought it is suppose to be red. The green one is the variant, thus the name Rotala rotundifolia 'green'...

sounds logical...

If you refer to the oriental plant book, it is stated that indica and rotundifolia is distinctively different. Though I'm still confused by them. I believe the book mentioned that the difference lies in the flower.
