Good morning Neil Sir, Thank you for the probable ID.
I was confused yesterday when i tried to ID this pant. Internet gave me images of *Utricularia aurea* Lour. (syn. *U. flexuosa* Vahl.) that looked very similar - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Utricularia_aurea and http://www.kinmatsu.idv.tw/plant/Asteridae/Utricularia.aurea.jpg/ Now, *Ceratophyllum submersum* L. also looks similar. I am not sure of which species i should go for. Regards, surajit On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 12:07 AM, Neil Soares <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > This looks like Ceratophyllum submersum to me.
