Heres one of the new plants we came across while attending ECS.

isn't that just a Microsorum pteropus "Tropica" ?

 

[cousinkenni]

I must say.....that looks stikingly similar to the two different "microsorum" in this thread:

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/new-plants-planted-aquariums/6957-java-fern-reverse-tropica-split-narrow-4.html

There appear to be some differences so it is deffinately possible they are different plants......even the two ***misnomer......sorry Aaron***** "narrowleaf tropicas" look completely different from the linked thread.

Verry nice plant,

Did you end up obtaining this plant?

Woww... very nice specimen... I really want it...

Looks emersed. Any chance it will survive submersed?

Interesting looking plant. Hope they do well in your tank.

have You got any information about the origin of this fern?

This is an AWESOME plant! Seems to be doing well submersed so far

 

[krisw]

It's still doing fantastic for me submersed as well. Does anyone have an ID for it? If not, I'd like to suggest Microsorum sp. 'Fingers' because the structure looks a lot like a hand with fingers coming off it. ;-)

It truly is a great plant though, and grows as quickly as regular Java Fern in good light/CO2

 

[bigstick120]

How about Microsorum sp. 'Trident'

The shape looks just like a trident-the weapon

 

[krisw]

That's a good one too.

 

[Juan-Carlos]

Can anyone who has this plant growing submersed post a picture? From the emersed grown plant pictured, it is definitely a plant I want to add to my setup. However, I am currious to see how the submersed growth looks.

Kindest Regards,

Juan-Carlos, I have some pictures here of it submerged. (It basically looks the same)

Thanks krisw!

Great, I am glad to see it doesn't change much submerged! A lovely plant which I will keep an eye out for to add to my setup one day!! Not to mention I'd love to grow this emersed as well - a very nice fern period!!

Regards,

[kakkoii]

that looks just like Microsorum sp. 'tropica'

 

[bigstick120]

The leaf on this is very thin compared to the tropica one

 

[RPB]

Grows faster than all the other microsorum pteropsis varieties I have had.

This one is lighter green than the other varieties

 

[krisw]

RPB, do you guys have a particular name for this Microsorum pteropsis variety?

 

[RPB]

As far as I know we have not.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if this is a natural occuring species or a man-made cultivar?
