Can someone tell me what this plants is?

[CK Yeo]

Lobelia cardinalis 'small form'

[valice]

And still in emersed form.

[jiahe88]

can ck yeo and valice a simple words to me what is small form and emersed form?

[valice]

L.cardinalis supposedly comes in two different variants. One is the petite one (known as the small form) and the other, that grows big. I personally don't know how to differentiate the two.

As for what is emersed form, it just meant that it has not transformed itself to suit life underwater which is the submersed form. Most of the plants we have are grown above water by farms (the emersed form) and when we use it in the tank, the plants will transform themselves to the submersed form.

Hope the explaination helps.

no la, the bottom part looks emersed, but the top looks submersed already.
The "normal" form is larger and has a more pointy leaf tip.
