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)

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.
