Description

Myriophyllum tetrandrum is native to the Asian tropics. It is closely related to Myriophyllum tuberculatum, commonly known as red milfoil. This plant was introduced to aquariums and was first imported from southern Thailand in March 2008 by Christel Kasselmann, where it was found growing naturally in a small lake near Krabi city.
