Hi guys, about 6 months ago I found a photo someone posted of their tank and it had what looked like to be a bed of clovers, roughly 1"-2" off the gravel with a thin stem creating a gap between the gravel and the top of the clovers. They looked like they were all connected like an ivy.

I have gone nuts trying to find these in all LFS's in the area and no one has them or a clue of what im talking about.

Can anyone help?
 
I'll bet is was marsilea quadrifolia.
 
FloridaDriftwood.com sells marsilea quadrifolia (4-leaf clover). I'm not a big fan of their service, but their prices are good if you're willing to put up with them.
 
I just got rid of a ton of it....I sent a bunch to friends so if you can't find it and are in need, I can get one of them to send you some if you pay 5 bucks for shipping...
 
yep those seem like they are it. Thanks!
 
could also be glossostigma....
 
nope it is Marselia
 
Aquatic Clover is awesome!

If you mean this stuff (http://suriel.org/Mark.jpg) then you're in for a treat when you find it.

This stuff is tough! A real nice guy sent me some chainswords, baby tears, and a ton of this and i was only able to save the clovers and a couple pygmy chainswords.

I've ahd it in my 5 gal for a short time and it's already sending off runners and looking ready to take over my bottom =)

It looks a lot like Riccia but without the hassle because this plant has an amazing root ball.

It's also a low/medium light plant.
