The order Isoetales includes the modern "quillwort", the living genus, Isoetes with about 70 species, which has a worldwide distribution, and very similar fossils (Isoetites a mid-Cretaceous plant resembling modern Isoetes).  These are small, often aquatic plants with a short stem and elongate leaves.  These are highly reduced plants that have effectively "telescoped" the body into a small corm-like stem that lacks vegetative leaves (all the leaves are fertile sporophylls). Fossil forms are sometimes placed in the modern genus Isoetes. Like the more primitive Selaginellales, the Isoetales are heterosporous, producing two kinds of spore.

Limnophia aromatica RARE
Limnophia aromatica
!
limnoaquatic1sm

There are several varieties of this plant. The variety grown by Tropica is said to come from Malaysia. It is characterised by its narrow green leaves, which are purple underneath. Like most other red plants, the colour depends on a supply of intensive light. CO2 addition promotes growth significantly, and it also thrives in hard water. Limnophilla aromatica is easy to propagate by cuttings.

Ludwigia arcuata (Needle leaf Ludwigia )
Aqua plant Ludwigia arcuata

TN_needleleaf_lud
Ludwigia arcuatais a beautiful plant most suitable for open aquaria where it willingly grows above the water. The emergent leaves are much smaller than the larger lanceolate and opposed aquatic leaves. The stem and the leaves are in both cases reddish coloured though most intensively in the emergent form. It often flowers with small golden-yellow flowersand it is easily propagated from the seeds as well asfrom cuttings. Ludwigia arcuata shows a strong seasonal rhythm and the lower leaves are shed during the winter. Also, cuttings root very poorly during wintertime. The plant prefers a rather rich substrate to grow optimally - a mixture of unwashed sand and mud/clay inthe ratio of 10:1 is fine. Ludwigia arcuata requires high light whereas water hardness does not seem to make much difference in plant performance.
