BUMPing this
Since I am not sure that this plant is marselia. Any other ideas, anyone?

| Unni, is this a rosette plant? Like a crypt. I don't know how I missed this one. |

Probably missed it amidst all the nonsense that I put in here

These plants virtually came out from nowhere. Grew on a rocks on which I had no other plants attached. The rocks themselves were picked off from my yard, so they are unlikely to have any Aquatic plants attached.
Four of the plants grew attached to the rocks {Three on one rock and one on another}. Initially I thought that they were Marselia {I have posted a picture earlier in this thread}, tried to replant one of them into the sand + laterite substrate. It melted off. The remaining three are growing well, but slowly.
They appear to be Rosette plants. The roots have a branching pattern
I will try to post a better picture of the plant today once the lights come on in the afternoon. |

the new leaves come out in a spirally wound fashion like new fern leaves, you can see one in the second picture. The leaves have become much larger as newer ones emerge.
I am attaching a few more pictures here

the plant looks mysterious and the way it was born is really cool
anyways till now i thought that only my aquarium rocks are full of this BBA. have you still not thought of anyway to tame this?? trust me i have shifted to pressurized CO2 and yet this algae is not dying. someone told me(in my DIY CO2 days) that it is due to low CO2 and water circulation. ironically now it is growing in full bloom on the rocks near to the CO2 ceramic diffuser and with a very good water flow.
i think lights are the culprit here. i will try adding 1wpg more to existing setup with the same CO2(2bps) for a 18 gallon tank and will update(not here but somewhere else) |

Ooooh that was BBA ? I thought that they were another set of mystery plants.
Probably a new moss species that would be called Vesicularia unnii

| I first thought it could be Cryptocoryne lingua or Rorippa aquatica. But as it just popped up from some collected stones there is a good possiblity that it is some kind of fern. The curled up new leaf also points to that plus the melting of plant when burried in the substrate. Keep posting pictures I will ask a few friends around. |

This looks like Rotala rotundifolia, but the leaves are a bit narrower and have very good red color. Looks like a submerged growth
This second plant is an obviously emersed growth

You mean the the last three are the emerged form and the first three are the submerged form? They look radically different

Picked up from the plant tub at Blossoms
There is a huge bunch still lying there. I took 15 stems each from bunches with 50. You want me to pick some up for you? I can bring it down when I come to Trivandrum |
