Hi Randall,

Hi Choy,
Is it the moss article?

Recently there are lot of farms and hobbyst collecting the wild cryptocorynes from rivers. Like Cryptocoryne "Bullosa" (Sorry if i spelling wrongly.) Cryptocoryne Cordata and Undulata. The funny thing is, the farm workers don't know the actual name of the plants which they collected. One of my member saw and helping them to verify.

They taking it, propagating it... and selling it. Without proper record and name.

yes the one that talks about Christmas moss, Singapore moss, etc etc etc.

btw scientific names are written with the specific name NEVER capitalised e.g. Cryptocoryne cordata not Cryptocoryne Cordata.
