Description
Marsilea crenata comes from the Asian and Australian tropics. Its emerged form sprouts the "four-leafed clover" leaves typical for clover ferns. Under water it develops into a nice low-growing lawn with small roundish leaves.
New leafes of Marsilea have brown color. Those leafes are not rotten or dead.
Please be aware that the bunch/potted variation of this plant could contain snails and other invertebrates.
Marsilea crenata is a widely-spread water clover distributed in South-East Asia and Australia (Northern Territory, northern and central-eastern Queensland). It is found in shallow water and on drying-out mud, amongst others in rice paddies.
M. crenata cannot be clearly discerned from Marsilea minuta, and might even belong to that species (Nagalingum & al. 2007).
In trade, you often see the names M. crenata, M. hirsuta, M. exarata, M. drummondii and M. quadrifolia, however, it is not sure whether the respective plant was identified correctly. Most species of the genus Marsilea can only safely be identified in their emersed form by means of their sporocarps (spore-containing fruit).

Die Pflanzen waren in einem guten Zustand und frei von allem möglichen was man halt nicht haben will. Wie man es halt von Tropica gewohnt ist.
These xl portions are really xl, compared quantity and quality very good price, certainly to consider.
