Plant ID quiz

[aaronnorth]

For a bit of fun i will start of by giving a small shot of a plant (it has to be aquatic - or at least survive in aquatic conditions) then you have to guess what it is, whoever gets it right gets to go next 😀 Make it as easy or hard as you like and it is up to you whether you give any clues. 😉 Try to provide the clearest picture you can.

so here we go

 

[Garuf]

Java fern either narrow or phillipene.

 

[aaronnorth]

Java fern either narrow or phillipene.

yes, microsorum pteropus 'narrow'

I suspected unless a realy close up is shown that we may get through these pics quite quickly

 

[Garuf]

I'm just too good.

 

[Mark Evans]

moss....i win! my go my go

 

[Garuf]

You don't win because you're wrong.

 

[aaronnorth]

bolbitis heudolotti?

 

[Garuf]

Wrong again.

 

[Mark Evans]

i cant see the image that well dude

 

[Garuf]

Sorry, it's the best picture I have, It's pelia btw.

 

[Ed Seeley]

Can't see it that well either, but is it 'Pelia' (Monosolenium tenerum) or 'Mini Pelia'?

 

[Garuf]

It was, but since I'd already said I'm not going to allow it you. 😛
Only kidding, your go.

 

[Ed Seeley]

I've got two, but both a little dodgy photos as they've been cropped right down.

Bonus points for the correct genus and species names of both!

 

[Garuf]

Marsilea drummondii

Bottom one looks like a sword of some kind.

 

[Garuf]

Echinodorus 'Oriental' maybe it's gotta be an aquaspot species?

 

[LondonDragon]

Looks like glosso to me 😉

 

[Garuf]

It's the other marsellia isn't it? histurta or what ever it is.

 

[Ed Seeley]

It's the other marsellia isn't it? histurta or what ever it is.

It's a Marsilea but not that one!

The other isn't an Echinodorus.

 

[Wayney]

Looks like Marsilea quadrifolia to me 🙂

 

[Ed Seeley]

The Marsilea is M.crenata. It's very close to M.hirsuta in appearance but slightly different, allegedly!

Anyone got any ideas on the second yet? It's 2" tall in that picture.
