Blyxa aubertii
Also called Round Fruit Blyxa
Blyxa aubertii, common name bamboo plant, is a plant species widespread across Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia, but known from the Western Hemisphere only from a few collections in the southwestern part of the US State of Louisiana. This is an aquatic plant growing in shallow lakes and ponds.
This and other species in the genus, such as Blyxa japonica, are sold commercially as greenery to grow alongside fish in aquaria. They require moderate or bright light. Blyxa aubertii has been in the aquarium trade for a long time but has never been very popular.
