    Greetings! A couple of weeks ago, I sent you a picture of a new (to me) aquatic plant. Since it wasn't a tracheophyte, you could only provide some helpful suggestions. So, after a bit of searching, I determined the wee beastie to be Riccia fluitans L., a liverwort in the order Marchantiales. I attach a picture of a whole bunch of them in a small aquarium. --Carl
