Riccia flititans, Linn., is one of the few flowerless or cryptogamous plants in cultivation aside from the ferns, mushrooms and se- laginellas. It is cultivated by one specialist in aquatics presumably for the benefit of students of botany. It is not generally advertised among aquarium plants. In this family of plants the plant-body is a thallus (i. e., a green, flattish body not differentiated into root, stem and leaves). The thallus of Riccia spreads out in green patches which are at first radiately divided, and the center of the plant often decays quickly. B. fluilans is distinguished from other species by the linear, dichot- oraous, floating thallus, with the capsule protuberant from the lower surface. For full description, see Gray's Manual. BICE.
