Eriocaulon sp(WB)

Eriocaulon sp(WB)

 This Eriocaulon sp(WB) is very similar from Eriocaulon cinereum. It is a very beautiful aquatic plant and also has been using commonly  in aquaria. It looks more attractive for it’s cluster leaf stature.

 Its a seasonal aquatic plant and I found this plant in many time on the flatland and dooarsland of West Bengal(even also tropical area of  lower WB ). Generally the new plants propagate from seeds and starts their appearance during the mid of rainy season(aug-sep).

If the water level will not rise,the buds come out of this juvenile stage..

 It grows moderately with very healthy appearance in natural habitat. It grows in high light with sallow water.

 After few month the buds comes out (especially while the water level becomes sallower or almost dry).After that it goes to die and the seeds comes among the bud

. A  single plant produce 18 to 35 bud sticks;depends on it’s healthiness and more than 50 seeds in a single bud. The seeds not to be mature until the plant hard-dry naturally by tropical sunlight in habitat. 

At juvenile stage the seeds coloration is being white and when its comes mature the color becomes dark brown and some of them's are black. After that the seeds burst spread from the bud and the seeds will till alive until the rainy season coming.
