Title: Another plant ID :) You guys were right !!!!
Post by: lucky777 on June 29, 2006, 02:35:38 AM
Anyone know exactly the type of plant that is the red one in middle of the tank.  Was just pruned today so it looks kinda of weird, but hopefully you can see it.

Rotala rotundifolia maybe?

it could be Alternanthera reineckii, possibly Red Temple,  your leaves look different than the Rotundifolia

It's hard to tell from that pic but it looks like either Rotala Macandra or Alternanthera Reinickii

You guys have a good eye for such a poor pic. I did a search for Alternanthera reineckii
and you wre right that's exactly what it is.  All the stores here in Cornwall label all plants as assorted and they know nothing about any of them.  I promise I will learn in time (when my new plant book comes in mail tommorow) and in the mean time thanx for replying. You were right as always  ;D
