Outofthis Galaxias Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi all, I am in need of some help finding sites were Myriphyllum Propinquum grows naturally in the Auckland/Rodney District. Currently I am conducting research on Myriophyllum Propinquum's ability to assimlated nitrogen and phosphorus from the water quality in an attempt to recommend as a biological water quality control method for Van Dammes Lagoon in Tamaki. If anyone has seen this gorgeous native plant in a stream or river in the Auckland/Rodney district could you please send me a PM or a post so that I may come look at it's habitat and take a few cuttings for some lab experiments. I would be ever so grateful to anyone who helps and am more than happy to show my results and hopefully published paper at the end. Note: Please be careful not to mix the native Myriophyllum up with the invasive parrots feather which looks very similar. If you need up identifying the species let me know.

alanmin4304 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Try Myriophyllum propinqua on trademe. Have sent you a pm or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Is propinqua the same as propinquum? Because the one on TM looks nothing like the propinquum on google.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
