U minutissima vs. arenaria

[efbiosis]

I don't have either one of these little guys yet...but I keep examing pics I see online. I'm wondering if these two species names are synonyms? Does anyone have both or one?

The flower structure I see looks remarkably similar to bisquamata also...are they from S. Africa too?

I'm curious as to what the consensus will be.

They are different species. But as with many utric species, the differences between them are fairly subtle. U. m. is native to India, Asia and and Australia.
