Zev Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 ok, smartypants, the aquatic plant, commonly known as Red Pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well!! That's what you asked for and I wasn't being smart Maybe if you showed a pic or gave a better discription I might have been a bit nearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Like most things these days... what you have has possibly been given a local name... but if you have some kind of so called "Aquatic Pine"... which is the Lycopodium species.. then it could be any number of plant types.. and without the latin or scientific name.. or a pic... then it is very hard to identify. Some of the Lycopodium species are here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_clavatum Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Could try this http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plant_survey/aq ... 4a5889c495 Some of these plants go a reddish colour with brighter light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Some of these plants go a reddish colour with brighter light. There were two types for sale, Red Pine and Green Pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Alan, why would you believe somebody would be asking about Rimus in the aquatic plant section of this forum. I don't believe I have ever seen a rimu growing underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Alan, why would you believe somebody would be asking about Rimus in the aquatic plant section of this forum. I don't believe I have ever seen a rimu growing underwater. Most probably because he was being a smarty-pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 wow nice plant! looks cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Rotala Wallichii is what I reckon. If it's not that, it's pretty close. http://images.google.com/images?q=rotal ... a=N&tab=wi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Let's getthis straight. I was not being a SMARTEE PANTS at all. It is very weird SOME of the questions that come onto this site at times. For the life of me, you don't know the age of the person you are dealing with to start with, it could have been a school pupil wanting to know a question for homework. So being a X carpenter, I am old enough to know what we used as framing in the house we were constucting was called RED PINE I thought it would be enlighteng to tell him/her. I even went to the trouble to google it and get an URL to follow up on my answer. Should have just said rimu and not wasted my time apparently GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Actually lake Brunner is full of red pine and Matai. (sank to the bottom and now being recovered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Rotala wallichii is almost identical to R. rotundifolia except for the much richer colour. I think this came up previously and plantman had the answer. I think your pic may be too fine in the leaf to be Rotala although it does vary a lot with conditions (particularly light) I sold some on Trademe to someone on this site a while ago (auction 95210922) After many times buying plant that perported to be that I finally got some and grew it in the same tank right next to rotundifolia (auction 95210509). I use the auctions which have finished as a way to get a picture of the different plants grown in the same conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
