    I managed to obtain the plant that(max length:30cm) identical with the plant in pictures below. Although the pictures stated that it is B. aubertii, it is different from the B.aubertii(max length: 60+ cm) i had seen. So do you think is it the B. aubertii or other B.sp? Thank you.

    since the pic is from Molluscan, the chances of it being right is pretty high, especially B. aubertii is rosette vs the low branching form of B. japonica. Leaf length is highly variable depending on growing condition, so I wouldn't be surprise to see it varying from 30-60cm. If you have a rosette-type plant likely would be the B. aubertii unless there are other blyxa species around.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
