Re: Common ID errors Sorry to post in a really old thread, but this really grinds my gears: Incorrect: Elodea crispa Correct: Lagarosiphon major Lagarosiphon is the correct genus. Incorrect: Elodea densa, Egeria desna, Anacharis densa Correct: Egeria densa
Anacharis is an incorrect and obsolete GENUS name! Elodea is an entirely different genus. Desna is a misspelled name.
It really grinds my gears when I speak of the true Elodea genus, but people think I am talking about Egeria densa.
I don't know what is the correct name for sago pondweed, I don't know if it is potamogeton or that stuckenia genus. Stuckenia is often cited as having a single species, and sometimes it has 3 or 4 included. Sadly, sago pondweed is not common in the hobby... |
