ID - floating/emergent aquatic
Perhaps a garden escape/throwout, as it's not readily recognisable as a
native species. http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Dicot68a.jpg Original photo (large) http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/IMG_6191.jpg -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Some leaves appear to be orbicular, others obovate. I wonder if it is something non-aquatic, which has just been thrown in the pond and will float until it dies and sinks. -- Jeff |

Could it be, like some tropical plants, that it has different and quite different immersed and emerged states. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |

The stems appear to be too tangled in with the waterweed for it to have been thrown in recently, and the foliage too fresh for it to have been thrown in any significant time ago. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

I've solved the identification myself, by looking up a list of invasive aquatic plants. It's Ludwigia grandiflora (water-primrose), which is heterophyllous, that latter leaves being much narrower. [The BSBI have 4 taxa of Ludwigia present in Britain, but the alternate leaves identify this plant as Ludwigia grandiflora.] -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London.

I was asking about the floating/emergent dicot, not the submerged monocot. I believe that the main waterweed in that pond is Lagarosiphon major (curly water weed), but I was wondering whether there was a patch of Elodea nuttallii (Nuttall's waterweed) showing in this photograph, or whether what can be seen is scraggy Lagarosiphon. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
