Possible fern

#1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2005, 02:33 AM

This might be considered advanced fern topic, so I will post here also.

I have a ten gallon viv that has what I thought to be liver worts. Heart shapped, dark green little leaves growing on the ground. But now two of them have started growing leafy stalks. Could this be a baby fern?? A prothalium leaf?? The sporophyte generation of the fern??

Thanks

Sadly, I can't, my camera phone sucs at taking pics of such small things.

Yea. It sounds like prothalia to me. I think you answerred your own question.
