Collected from a nearby pond.



It grows in the water as well as on the soil above edge of water.

That is not a moss... moss hasn´t roots

[|squee|]

Egeria densa? Looks darn small though. Might be what people call liverworts?

[Weirong]

It's some form of small terrestial fern if I'm not wrong.

[ranmasatome]

Hi I've actually picked 2 plantlets of this from the edge of a major water body (can't say where, feeling guilty about it :P) and had it in my tank for a few months. It didnt die, and it did put out some leaves, but eventually it was overcome by algae and died.
I also think it could be terrestrial, but what a pity it would look interesting in a tank!

Just bought this small booklet called "A Guide To The Common Liver Worts And Horn Worts of Singapore".
And found something looks similiar. Could be some form of "Leafty Liverwort".

Hi Superchevy

Do you have pic to show ?

mosses and liverworts do not have roots. and if you look at the book closely, you see that leafy liverworts have their leaflets growing from the stem on a flat plane while this plant has an alternative whorl. The plant is a pretty common herb in damp places, but is no aquatic.
