{{Inc| Ludwigia mulerttii, Mulertt. Lvs. oval to lance-oblong, narrowed into short petioles, entire: fls. yellow: fr. oblong, truncate on top ⅜ in. long.—Intro, from S. Amer. by Hugo Mulertt, then of Cincinnati, and described in "Isis" (published in Germany) in 1880 or 1881, and also in the "Aquarium," Vol. III, pp. 43, 64. It is now widely distributed amongst growers of aquarium plants. It seems not to have been studied by systematic botanists. It is prized for its graceful habit and because it is evergreen. Grows well from cuttings and from seeds. _Mulertt, now residing in Germany, gives the following additional information: From the soil coming with rhizomes of nymphea from the Amazon Valley in 1878 this ludwigia made its appearance. At first, the plants were not considered to be unusual, but it soon became a favorite with customers, and it has now been widely distributed among aquarists. In Germany, where it is now frequently prop, from seed, several varieties have appeared, but although they retain the evergreen character they do not develop the graceful shape and brilliant crimson coloring of the foliage of the type. "The plant wants a shady location with a high temperature in a water-depth of about 15-18 in. to display its full character below the water-surface. In a sunny location, during summer, it grows above water, the foliage then displaying glossy dark brownish green on top and crimson-purple (or violet-crimson) below. Yellow flowers soon appear in the axils of the lvs. and develop into little caps, that bear the seeds. If left in the caps., these retain life for 6 or 8 years." }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
