I once took a small one from the pond, but it was far bigger then yours. (not to brag).. I would like to have it that small.. Looks good..

I think it's dwarf water lettuce.Not sure how big it gets.

Hi all,
Brilliant, I like your emergent <"Limnobium"> plant as well. I've got one tank (the back of the lab. tank) where the Limnobium laevigatum always grows emergent leaves, but it doesn't in any of the other tanks, or in the glasshouse, so I assume its a (high) humidity effect.

it's dwarf water lettuce

It is all just <"Pistia stratiotes">, the rosettes get larger, and more cabbage, like in high light. I've had plants in the glasshouse where they have cycled from having a few flat leaves in the winter to a full rosette (and flowers) in the summer, back to a flat leaves in the winter.

cheers Darrel
