Re: Bolbitis/Aquaticplantdepot
Hi all.
After looking up the plant, it is indeed a different "bolbitis." Like most
people, I'm more familiar with the B. heudelotti, the African Water Fern,
then the one they have pictured -- I'd honestly never heard of it before. .
. . . As such, it is identified properly... just confusion created by common
names.
