Description

Myriophyllum sp. "Guyana" was introduced in 2011 by "manini" on Aquatic Plant Central and Vadim Shmelyov's blog. The plant was obtained from a Japanese dealer, but its exact origin is unknown. It may be related to French Guyana. To identify the species, emersed, flowering, and fruiting plants are needed. This milfoil has vivid light green coloration, dense bushy growth, moderate growth rate, and small size, making it suitable for nano tanks.
