Isoetes (quillwort)
!
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. LIMITED

Aquatic Plant Java Moss
!
Java Moss is the popular name for Vesicularia dubyana. It is hardy and makes few demands on the water and light. Java moss attaches itself easily to all surfaces, making it suitable for decorating stones and tree roots or hiding aquarium equipment. Use fishing line to keep Java Moss in position until it attaches itself. If growth is too vigorous, prune with scissors. Java moss provides a wonderful hiding place for young fish. V. dubyana can also be used in terrariums if the air humidity is high. | ||||||
