Aquatic carpet FOR ID :: TMC Biodiversity Park :: 15 APR 18 : 8 posts by 3 authors. 2 images. TMC Biodiversity Park Thane Date: April 15, 2018 ... Altitude: about 15 m (50 feet) asl Please help me with the ID of this floating carpet; it was too far in the middle of pond - could not get close up pictures. Mosquito Fern. Azolla pinnata. Thanks, ..., for id. As per distribution it may be Azolla pinnata subsp. asiatica R.M.K.Saunders & K.Fowler compared to distribution of Azolla pinnata subsp. africana (Desv.) R.M.K.Saunders & K.Fowler and Azolla pinnata subsp. pinnata That's Azolla pinnata subsp. asiatica (syn.: A. imbricata). Incidentally, as I've seen both species grow together in one or two localities (including Kolkata) it would be interesting, if rather challenging, to try to look for a prove hybrids. Though being from quite different sections in the genus that might not occur. References: |
