Dangs-Gujarat Dear Friends.... I was on usual bird photography trip to Dangs in Southern Gujarat, which is northern limits of Western Ghats falling in Gujarat.... I found this plants growing everywhere in 5-6 streams, ....Their color was so contrasting and beautiful red I could not resist to click some pictures....and some samples to identify them later along with try to put them in my planted aquarium..... It's kinda mat-forming plants with a creeping stem up to 5-15 centimeters long, rooting at nodes which come in contact with wet substrate. At first glance it looked like Ludwigia Spp. but later found out all Ludwigia have yellow flowers where as this one has red/purple kinda small flowers....There leaves were very small say .5 to 1 cm in emerged growth and submerged growth has slightly longer leaves say 1 cm. and a bit longish... Here are some pics.....As I just returned from 2 days trip straight to office I will take some more shots of collected specimen emerged and submerged growth later tonight when at home....and share with you tomorrow...
