Yes but it looks nasty submersed. Good plant for the terrarium though. Can't
recommend it for a tank.
It's cool
>looking stuff. BTW, there are two other aquatic Bolbitis spp. out there
>(probably only in the wild!), has anyone seen/grown these?
The common one is a nice plant (B. huedelotii) or which there are two
varieties*(this might change to two species) one being a smaller bushier
type getting about 6-8 inches tall and another larger type getting 16-20
inches tall. I believe there another type called B. filipinii but I've never
seen it yet but am told that it does well submersed.
I think one is
>B. fluvitalis (I'm guessing) and the other?
Sounds like the older nomenclature perhaps from Dr. Rataj's book? I don't
know what the the status of these names are now.
