Description
The river buttercup from Australia, Ranunculus inundatus, is also sold with the label "Ranunculus papulentus". It is a true eye-catcher with its unique palmate fresh green leaves and its creeping growth habit. To live up to its full potential, this Ranunculus needs lots of light to prevent it from forming too long leaf stalks. Ranunculus inundatus can also be cultivated as bog plant in shallow water or wet soil. Under good conditions it will form its small yellow flowers then.
Characteristics
Ranunculus inundatus, or river buttercup, is an amphibic plant originating from south-eastern Australia. There it grows on wet mud or in the waters of ponds and rivers. Ranunculus (buttercup) species are found in many wetlands all over the world, however, R. inundatus is one of the few that grow submersed, too.
Ranunculus papulentus, another Australian buttercup species, and closely related to R. inundatus, is also said to be imported as aquarium plant. However, those plants named R. papulentus in trade do not differ at all from those hitherto identified as R. inundatus. Especially their emersed forms correspond much better to the descriptions and illustrations of R. inundatus than those of R. papulentus (e.g. Flora of New South Wales).
Much like Hydrocotyle and Marsilea species, R. ()

In der Einlaufphase perfekt angewachsen. Exact wie erwartet!
A very healthy and robust plant arrived!
It immediately pushes out new shoots in the tank and turns dark green. Highly recommended

Sehr gute Qualität
Es kam eine sehr gesunde und robuste Pflanze an!
Wirft im Becken direkt neu Triebe und wird dunkel grün. Sehr empfehlenswert
The plant arrived well packed. It had grown well and strong, so I was able to plant it generously in several places.

eine Menge gesunder Pflanzen fürs Geld
Pflanze kam gut verpackt an. Sie war gut und kräftig gewachsen und so konnte ich sie mehreren Stellen großzügig einpflanzen. Mittlerweile (4 Wochen) hat sie sich auch schon mit einigen Ausläufern im Becken verbreitet.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden und würde sie wieder kaufen.
