Yet another bubbling species. This is is a tiny stem plant which bubbles right the top. Size of bubble is big. They look impression in big cluster.

Grows really slow though.

Hello,

I doubt whether this plant belongs to Arthraxon and that it is a Poaceae at all.
I don't cultivate this plant indeed, and it's obviously not yet available here in Germany.
But there are obviously two little flowers with 3 petals on the first pic in this thread of frozenbarb:
http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...arthraxon.html
Such flowers are characteristic of Commelinaceae (Murdannia, Tradescantia etc.).

Has anyone a closeup photo of a flower or inflorescence from emersed "Arthraxon sp. 'Malaysia' "?

I would be most interested in seeing an inflorescence as well. I can't make much out of the ones in the photo.

hmm looks like I am reviving and old thread, but in anyway let me pitch in my 2 cent

This plant underwater looks alot more like a dwarf version of Poaceae 'purple bamboo'

from my 140, this is an Arthaxon bush

This is the plant you sent me, isn't it? I really love it. I love it's small size.

Very interesting. The one I have has much longer leaves:



I'm going to try a small side-shoot emersed and see what happens. No promises as the conditions are not "controlled" to much extent, but if I get flowering I'll certainly update with pics here.

Dave,

Your plant looks like it's from the family Commelinaceae (Commelina, Murdannia, etc) rather than a grass. The size and veining make it look that way at least. I may be able to shed more light on all this soon.

I eagerly await...
