Lilaeopsis brasiliensis

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis is a species of aquatic plant that belongs to the Apiaceae family. Commonly known as Brazilian micro sword or simply L. brasiliensis, the plant is native to South America and can be found in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, and streams.

The plant has long, thin stems that grow up to 20 cm in height and spread outwards through runners, forming dense mats of foliage. The leaves are light green in color and are small, ranging from 1-2 cm in length. The plant prefers moderate to high lighting conditions and requires a nutrient-rich substrate to thrive.

L. brasiliensis is commonly used in aquascaping to create low-growing carpets in aquariums. Its densely packed growth and attractive appearance make it a popular choice among aquarium hobbyists who want to create natural-looking environments for their fish and other aquatic pets.
