This is what I was saying all along:) Check archives. It must be a 2-3 years
back. I said that it was a mutated form of Riccia.
But when someone else says they have a reliable source and another plausible
reason why it is not one species, then I'll be happy to say I am wrong.
Karen presented a good reason and source to why this was the case back
then(why it was two species and how I might have gotten a new species
introduced).
Now Claus has settled the issue for now.
At least my original notions seem to be correct even if my confidence level
was not in my assertion:)

Awhile back this was not clear though. As new information ( enter Claus)
came to light we have since corrected this issue.
At least it seems to cleared up... for now:) Hopefully no more see
saw.
Regards, The previously correct, then incorrect, now correct assertion
maker:)
Growing is easy, identification and all the other stuff is not:)
