Hi all,
It looks like it might be <"Drepanocladus aduncus">, which is sold under a variety of names.

Hi all

Nice one Darrel that’s it

I've had a few different native mosses, the problem is that although they look distinct when they are growing terrestrially, they all tend to look pretty similar (like <"Stringy Moss">) when they are growing underwater.

If you have <"a microscope"> you can look at the "leaves" (microphylls), and that gives you a bit more idea.

Hi all,

🙂

That one looks like Drepanocladus aduncus, with "inflated basal cells".

Did you take the photomicrograph?

id you take the photomicrograph?

No unfortunately i can't. (Yet, working on it.). But we have a very good illustrated "National Database for Flora and Fauna" NDFF. 🙂 (National, only in Dutch/Flamish and what can be found in that area)

But:

Select alphabetical above and sp. name listed at the LH side, Latin is default. All you need is the name, pictures speak for themselfs. 🙂 If it grows enough on our piece of this hemisphere it is very well documented.
