I cannot figure out this one. And in order for my
Lfs to take my trimmings they need labels for everything.
Thanks in advance

I think a Bolbitis species.
African Water Fern.
I have this. Mine is the less common one. Will try and check name later.
Mine grows well. It makes babies on leaf tips like Java Fern. Not a super fast grower for me , but steady and hardy.

At least that's my guess from the pics.
 
Well I think I'll give a portion to a friend that works at the lfs and see if he has any luck with it. I recently bought it off of tpt along with windelov java fern but I don't think they knew the ID either.
 
Cool.

Coursair let us know if you find the scientific name. I am curious.
 
Someone on tpt thinks it's bolbitis asiatica. But thats the only reply I got
 
I think asiatica is no longer a valid name.
I think it is heteroclita. But it's hard as the pictures are mislabeled. If you Google it, it shows the heudelotti as heteroclita. So I've never been sure which one I had, just that it was different than the regular one ;)
