blueether Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Edit, I think I have ID them: Plant 1, could beMyriophyllum triphyllum or M. propinquum? Plant 2, Lilaeopsis ruthiana or Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae by the looks. Edit 2, Some sites seem to list Lilaeopsis ruthiana and Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae as the same plant, but the pic of Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae that is on fnzas plant ID is nothing like what I have, but it does match the descriptions of Lilaeopsis ruthiana Plant 1; Found in medium light/part shaded, cold stream as enters a lake so lowish flow: Plant 2; Found in full sun, lake edge - damp to about 300mm down, propagation by runners - plants about 20 - 30mm apart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not sure what the Myriophyllum is. Could be propinquum, triphyllum, variifolium or robustum or maybe even something else (I don't know how many fully aquatic Myriophyllum species there are in NZ). I don't know what the other plant is, but it doesn't look like lilaeopsis IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 It looks the same as the plant(s) here: http://131.230.176.4/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Lilaeopsis&rank=genus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Wow it does! So maybe it's L. ruthiana then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
