fishman9809 · 04-27-2008, 02:57 PM

are there any?

dougz · 04-27-2008, 04:15 PM

Hmm..

I don't think so..

They're pretty much all from S. E Asia..

darn, I need some for my biotope, there is a guy in SA right now, he collected some, I asked if he could maybe ship me some when he gets back, and he sed yes!!!!

dougz · 04-27-2008, 04:25 PM

Does he know what it's called, and wether you're allowed to bring it into the States?

fishman9809 · 04-27-2008, 04:32 PM

he sed he'll try, he doesn't know, but it was found growing beside a stream, partly emersed and partly submersed

Hi Fishman,

I live in Buenos Aires, and about 100 kms from here in a city named "Zarate" (Parana River) in our club we collected a moss. I dont know its name. Today or Tomorrow I will share a picture here to show it to you.

i collect a lot of moss of river and stream near to buenos aires, unfortanly i don't have here a pics of this, i think that one of most beatifull moss are in the roots of Casuarinas (Casuarina - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre) in Delta of River Paraná, probably they are fisidens sp. or fontinalis antipiretica.
you can see a few pics of plants that i was collect in

Finally, this is the moss I found in Zarate. In the picture you will find also a lilaeopsis found in the same place and growing emersed over a piece of wood.
