Plant ID quiz

[Garuf]

Not a clue, I can't even see anything similar to it in your journal.
I smell a rat, It's a garden plant isn't it?

 

[aaronnorth]

echindorous radicans?

 

[Ed Seeley]

It was in my cube tank and a bona fidae aquatic plant.

Definitely not an Echinodorus, think of another rhizomatous genus, lots of species, Asian...

 

[aaronnorth]

cryptocoryne willisii

 

[Ed Seeley]

cryptocoryne willisii

Right genus....

 

[beeky]

So what is it then? I been lying awake at night worrying about it but unable to get on UKAPS to check it and when I do, there's no answer! It's like having the last page missing from the book!

My guess is Crypt. ciliata.

?

cryptocoryne parva
crypt ponderfolia
crypt walkerii

Doh! Rumbled http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/sh ... hp?t=14953

 

[aaronnorth]

lets hope it is one of them

 

[Ed Seeley]

Sorry guys I'd forgotten about this! It is Crytocoryne lingua. I suppose you got that one Matt (not sure I'd allow that in my class though, but marks for ingenuity!!!) so your turn!

 

[Dusko]

I know it is not my turn but here is one for the road
What plant is this?

Dusko

 

[Thomas McMillan]

Looks like cabomba to me :S

I definitely wouldn't allow it

I know it is not my turn but here is one for the road

So I'll let Dusko take my turn instead

 

[a1Matt]

hhhmmm.. similar, but I think not quite. I'm not ocnfident, but maybe one of the Limnophila species. ?

 

[Ed Seeley]

Utricularia? ot showing bladders of course. Can't remember the species that has nice whorls like that - is it U.vulgaris or U.macrorrhiza?

 

[Dusko]

Yes this is a Utricularia specie well done!
In the order list it doesn't say which one exactly so you win.
