Stella Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 It is a type of Myriophyllum. There are several native species and the exotic (and banned) Myriophyllum robustum. They all look pretty similar unfortunately. Hopefully someone knows how to tell them apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hmmmm id say it looks most like Myriophyllum aquaticum (Parrots Feather)... :nilly: INTO THE FIRE IT GOES. :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 can you please take some very good and clear shots of it? The plant committee might be able to use the pics! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 It is a type of Myriophyllum. There are several native species and the exotic (and banned) Myriophyllum robustum. They all look pretty similar unfortunately. Hopefully someone knows how to tell them apart. Of the New Zealand native milfoils , only two are endemic (M. robustum and M. triphyllum). M. robustum is an uncommon species and is classified as vulnerable in terms of its future survival Native Myriophyllum robustum http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_view_full_image.asp?i=468 Exotic pest Myriophyllum aquaticum http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Myriophyllum+aquaticum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 d'oh, I meant M. aquaticum :facepalm: Thanks for correcting me! (I don't know much about plants, but I have the New Zealand Waterplants book on hand, and it is very handy, but the nut between the book and the keyboard is loose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
