Can anyone tell me what this is? It's the emersed form and I suspect it to be a form of Hygrophila but I'm unsure. Many thanks.

Another emersed plant for ID:

looks like emersed Hygrophila difformis.

difformis?

Does it look that different from the submersed form?

You got a nice plant here..where can i find this plant?
thanks in advance.

The first one certainly looks like H. difformis.

I suspect the second might be Ludwigia repens

my guess for first one shld be a Hygrophila Difformis and second one is more likely Ludwigia repens...

The first one is Hygrophila difformis. My neighbour has it growing out of his tank in his garden

Wow! Is it a pond or a tank with low water level? Must have a pretty strong stem to support the part that it above the waterline.

The plants pictured are in their emersed form. Many aquarium plants have both a submerged form as well as an emergent growth form.

It was actually hanging out from the tank.

**Betta Almighty** · 27th Mar 2006, 22:34
