Zev Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 801968.htm There does not seem to be any branching of the leaves - well to my eyes, anyway - where is that blind smiley? And this one as well? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 803573.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looks very much like Hornwort to me. There is heaps of it in a local lake here. Illegal to posses and even more illegal to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douwe Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 what a rip off grows heaps in the lakes here (Arapuni, Karapiro), is a real pest, although great to take nutrients out of your fish tank Probably: Myriophyllum spicatum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 From:http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/taxonomy/term/1259 It is an unwanted organism under the Biosecurity Act 1993 and is banned from sale, propagation, and distribution. Myriophyllum spicatum has a totally different leaf structure - and classed as a noxious weed in a lot of places as well. http://www.honeysomeaquaticnursery.co.u ... icatum.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douwe Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 had another look at some pics of both and see the difference, the one I pointed out got more red on the base. Some of the pics aren't very clear and if you look up hornwort on wiki it looks more like a moss. and reads further The name Hornwort also refers to aquatic plants of the genus Ceratophyllum, in the family Ceratophyllaceae.

alanmin4304 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looks like hornwort to me. The problem is that trademe does not seem to care. I reported someone selling Lagarosiphon last week and left a message for them as well and they are back again this week selling it again. Why bother. Dam strains.
