alanmin4304 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I have grown this plant emersed but not submersed. When submersed it looks a lot like Sagittaria microfolia but I don't have a pic. It came originally from Amazonian and he may be able to post a pic of submersed growth. Can anyone ID what type of tenellus this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 We got there sort of. Any mod that wants to remove the extraneous, feel free. Hope to get it right next time. Things can only improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It was just as determined to keep loading the wrong picture---but guess who won---sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplecatfish Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't know if this helps The leaves of E. tenellus are narrowly elliptical or lanceolate. At different times during the plant's life cycle, the blade of the leaf is scarcely distinguishable from the petiole, while at other times the petiole is 10 to 15 times as long as the blade, which may be 1-4 cm long and 0.2-1 cm wide, with a pointed tip. The base is decurrent to the petiole and has between one and three veins. The stem is thin, erect, often curved and radicans, and may be 3-20 cm long. In small plants, the stem ends in a single inflorescence (umbel or coil); in larger plants the infloresence is racemose, composed of two whorls placed one above the other. Bracts are free and 2-6 mm long in the first whorl. Pedicels are 1-3.5 cm long. Sepals are 3 mm long, membraneous, and usually have five fine ribs. During ripening, the sepals enlarge and reach a length of up to 6 mm and fully cover the aggregate fruit. A specimen may have six to nine stamens, each about 1 mm long. Anthers are 0.25 mm wide by 2.25 mm long, which is three times shorter than the filaments. It may have sixteen to eighteen pistils. The achenes are compressed, and arched in the apical part; they are (0.9) - 1.1 - (1.3) mm long, and black, with three lateral ribs. The basis of the stylar beak is under the level of the tip of the nutlet and may be 0.1-0.3 mm long. It is a highly variable species according to its geography and environmental conditions. - Wikipedia definitely not a dwarf sag don't think its var. parvulus as the flower isn't pinkish Echinodorus parvulus is a small delicate plant that grows with its leaves submerged in the waters of shallow ponds. It grows to only 4 inches tall, with creeping shoots. Plants produce two to eight pinkish-white flowers that bloom from July to September. Fruits form in the mid to late fall, and are plump and reddish brown, with 8 ribs. (Conservation Commission of Missouri 2000) Best I can do is agree that its a E. tenellus var unknown, sorry.
