I could sell it to you as Snuffaluffagus weed because I like that name but it would still be wrong. I have found 5 people in the past 3 month or so posting/selling rotundifolia as indica. Im not trying to be mean man, it has nothing against you. Just think about how many people YOU sold it to that now are passing it along as the wrong plant.

This is the correct R.Indica plain and simple.

Ok I was right but it's also sold as Rotala Indica (Rotala roundifolia)

LOL I never sold it so we are good But maybe online stores should stop selling this under that name, I still hear peeps calling it indica all the time.

Good. But I think you get the point. Hopefully this thread can get back on track and some people have learned the proper ID of some Rotala's.

I think with more and more people growing plants immersed and getting them to show their inflorescence there will be allot more erroneous names in the future for sure.:thumbsup:

Well looks like a lot of work needs to be done, just did a search for rotala indica and most of the pic's look like my indica R.rotundifolia.

You could probably find allot more then that. But if you look at the dates they were submitted the more recent ones will have the correct ID. Thats the beauty of the internet, things tend to stick around for along time, correct or not.

Hey it happens all the time in the Aquatic plant world, species getting mixed up and what not.
