Süsswassertang
Species of fern / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lomariopsis lineata is a species of fern native to South East Asia.[2] The prothallia of this species (or possibly a closely related species) are commonly cultivated as an aquarium plant, where it is known to aquarists as süsswassertang (German spelling: Süßwassertang).[3] It is often incorrectly spelled "subwassertang" due to the German eszett's similarity to the Latin 'B'. It is also called Loma fern or round pellia.[4] In the aquarium industry, it is commonly confused with similar-looking liverworts of the genus Pellia and Monosolenium.
