> Sagitteria.subulata
Refered to as "dwarf Sag". Narrow leaves, average about 10cm long. Forms
a runner that grows in the substrate to produce a new plant. Because it
doesn't grow tall, it needs fairly bright light.
It's the second foreground plant from the left in this picture:

Very common aquatic plant. Native to the americas.
> Aponogeton elongatus, Aponogeton elongatus longifolius, Aponogeton loriae,
> Aponogeton natans,
Not familiar with all the specific Apons you mention, but I do grow some
apons. They grow from a tuber (often sold as "bulbs"). Most will grow
under medium lighting, some require high lighting. Availability varies
based on the particular variety. Most are native to Madagascar or
SE Asia.
> Glossastigma elatinoides,
A high light plant. Grows mainly as a ground cover plant. Likes a small
substrate grain size. Commonly used in aquascaping.

Native to Australia and New Zealand
> Liliaepsis novea
Lilaeopsis novae-zealandiae, a grass-like plant. Needs very high lighting.
Originates from New Zealand. I've seen it sold as micro-sword, and often
incorrectly sold as "L. braziliensis" which is a south american Liliaepsis.
Another correctly used name is L. ruthiana. Can be hard to find.
> Marsilea exarata
Marsilea are a species of plants, with many different varieties that are
native to Australia. Most tend to look like clover.
Here's a page discussing several varieties, along with email addresses to
some possible sources in Australia:
http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Plants/Marsilea.html
Some varieties are common in the aquatic plant trade.
> Lemna trisulcia,
Not familiar with that variety, but common lemna is duckweed, a smaill rapidly
reproducing floating plant.
> Riccia fluitans
Bladderwort. A floating plant which is often grown attached to rocks or
driftwood, but this takes a lot of work to manually attach it. It will
constantly break off and return to the surface.
> Hydrocotyle lemnoiodes,
Not familiar with lemnoiodes, but other varieties of Hygrocotyle are common,
most from South America, but I've seen at least one variety is from SE Asia.
> Limnophila indica,
Again, not familiar with indica, but Limnophila sessiliflora is a commonly
grown aquatic plant. Very easy fast grower. All varieties I've seen are
from SE Asia.
Eusteralis stellata
Excellent aquatic plant. Needs very high light and CO2 injection for best
growth. Native to Asia and Australia. One of my favorite plants.
Hygrophillia angustifollia.
not familiar with Hygrophila angustifolia (note spelling) but many
varieties of Hygrophila are common in the aquatic plant trade. Found
in the Americas and SE Asis.
> Ceratopteris thalicoides
Very common, easy starter plant. Often called 'Water Sprite'.
