Hi all

I have exchanged this plant with a guy

and he told me that it is Lomariopsis lineata (actually the gametophyte of L. lineata, as I have learnt that Lomariopsis is not a liverwort but a fern). But TBH it looks like Pellia, isn't it?

Anyone can tell me what it is please? In both cases, will it get adapted to emersed growing?

Seaweed...hang on while I consult my Hong Kong book of Plant Kung Fu...it says it's Lomariopsis lineata

But it could be wrong...

Seaweed...

Yes, it wanted to try some in the salad tonight

Apparently, the difference lies in the distinct central rib on the Monosolenium, which the Lomariopsis does not have

Yep, looks like "Freshwater Seaweed".

Agreed. I am trying to get some going in a low light low/tech, not that succesfull yet.

Lomariopsis lineata can be a little slower to get started, then Monosolenium tenerum..........but once it gets going, it's quite easy. IMO Lomariopsis generally has a better (more rich) colour and a more compact and "crincled" growth. Can be tied to rock, and really suit a branching piece of redmoore wood (like you would do moss).
Consider yourself lucky, Jordi, it's a true little marvel [DOUBLEPOST=1405542227][/DOUBLEPOST]- oh.....it will not like a life out of water, by the way !!
