Picture of Prothallus

Added a picture of the Lomariopsis prothallus in question, taken with a Samsung Galaxy S3. This aquatic fern is sold worldwide and is now available in Lima pet stores (Lima, Peru); so I figured I would upload a picture of one of my specimens to aid readers in identifying this plant. By all means, please replace it with a higher-quality picture if anyone out there should have one. Thanks all, and thanks to the original author for this very important article.

Little discussion of L. lineata in text

I don't think it's right that this page focuses mostly on the Susswassertang when there is uncertainty on whether it is in fact the same species as L. lineata. I think the page should be restructured so that it has a large Susswassertang segment after the one discussing "true", sporophyte-developing Lomariopsis lineata. After all, Susswassertang is Lomariopsis cf. lineata at best. Anthropophoca (talk) 03:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would encourage you to find some good sources on the subject and expand the article! Mbdfar (talk) 09:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And for what it's worth, the reason for my choice to expand this page as L. lineata comes from Kasselmann's 2020 treatment of the species. I followed her judgement as she was the discoverer and is an authority on aquatic plants in her own right. Although Li et al. 2009 left a thread of ambiguity, Kasselmann does not.
