1x Salvinia Oblongifolia (Very Rare Giant Salvinia) You will recieve 1x portion Like in First Photo enough for a Small / Medium Aquairum or Pond
Description: Free floating aquatic fern developing from a somewhat zigzagged
horizontal stem (rhizome) that floats just under the water surface.
The rhizome bears opposite pairs of rectangular floating leaves and a
third submersed, filamentous leaf
along each node. The roots are absent, although the submersed leaf has
a root-like look. Floating leaves are three times longer than wide,
measuring about 2.7 to 4.2 cm long and 1.0 to 1.8 cm wide. They are
positioned above a prominent keel
of spongy aerenchyma tissue which aids in keeping the large leaves
afloat. Floating leaves lie flat or can be folded on the mid-rib
depending on the density of the population. Individual plants commonly
grow 20 - 25 cm long, often resembling the size and shape of a loaf of bread.
The long rectangular leaves and spongy keel are characteristic for this
species. Nearly all parts of the plant, except the upper leaf surface
are sparsely clothed in chestnut colored hairs.
