From AQUARUM PLANTS by H. C. D. De Wit.
Nymphoides aqauatica (Walt) O.K.- (Fig.63) Banana Plant
1788: first described by Th.Walter (as Anonymos aquatica) (Fl. Carol.:37). Renamed by O.Kuntze (Rev.Gen.Pl.2:429.1891). Syn.Villarsia lacunosa,Limnanthemum aquaticum,L.trachyspermum). Distribution: E.and S.United States (Florida). Description: This species owes the name of "Underwater Banana Plant" to the bunch of miniature "Dahlia tubers" from which it sends up its rosette of long-petioled subcircular light-green or purple leaves with a cordate base. Mature leaves are floating, the petiole bearing purple warts, the lamina somewhat more stout and spongy, olive-green above, purple beneath, with many small depressions. They may exceed 10cm in length. Flowers 1 to 2cm in diameter, white, and apparently arising from the petiole, a few cm below the lamina. Biology and cultivation: In America a popular aquarium plant but cultivated only rarely in Holland. In the wild state it occurs in pools and slow-moving water. It needs plenty of light. After fertilisation the pedicel bends over, as a result of which the fruit ripens below the surface. Can be propagated from leaf-currings. |

Here's my little troublemaker, Pepperpot. She recently received a DVD of David Attenborough's Life of Birds. It's now her favorite show. Hopefully soon I'll be able to run SSA on my computer at home. Then I might regain control of the TV remote.

Cute pic, but I think we are straying from the original concept for this thread. Maybe we could have two threads -- Pets with the Aquarium, and all other pets.

Yes, I've heard a rumor that it is banned as a weed. But I've also heard that it is pretty hard to keep alive in a tank. The two reports seem contradictory. Anyway, Amato uses it heavily in his books, and I will have some in the Freshwater program.

I had to clear out IE a couple of times, turn off my ad-blocking software, and close and reopen IE to get that page to load. *sigh* Unnecessary Javascript infuriates me...
Anyway, cute pictures, this one is priceless... http://homepage.mac.com/benton_bruce...6D583011D7.jpg With a good caption, this would be great on the site. Yeti, a [type of cat], adjusts the settings on his/her Aquarium. ![]() and this one... http://homepage.mac.com/benton_bruce...16583011D7.jpg Yeti shows off the Aquarium to a friend. I think we'll get e-mails saying that these pictures are staged. ![]() ![]()
