PLANT ID: Fissidens sp. (addendum)
I went back to my records and found the name of the collection place: Lake Junaluska in Waynesville. Is that Vance County? I was in the area from my visit to the Biltmore Estate. The plant was found growing along the banks in the frigid November weather. Among those collected was this bryophyte whose genus I did not know until recently: Fissidens. An ugly little bugger but I have separation issues. Any idea as to its species name?

I'm afraid I can't narrow down its locale much further than that. My apologies. I was hoping that it was distinctive enough to ID. What are the species choices that you are suspecting it to be?
I came to see you of course but you wouldn't come out from behind the shed. Every now and then, you would take a peak to see if I've left. I waved. You screamed. We both ran in opposite directions. :axe:Piscesgirl said:

Do you have a picture of the 'Sao Paulo' variant? The one in the photo above is the first species of Polygonum I've seen that produces spade-shaped leaves. However, the real gem is the first green one. It is absolutely stunning planted in groups. Definitely my favorite between the two. It isn't terribly fast growing nor is it slow either. A perfect candidate for a Dutch-inspired aquascape IMHO. I used to not hold native plants with much regards, but every plant in the hobby is "local" to someone somewhere right?
