    Hi Mdm

    If the underside of the leaves are purple, i say its Limnophilla aromatica.

    Had them b4. Grow very easily.

    And when you trim Limnophila aromatica, you should be able to sense the strong herbal smell, like those of cut Hydrocotyle leucocephala.

    Re:

    Thanks, found more info @ http://www.tropica.com/productcard_1.asp?id=047B


    When I first got them, the underside of the leaves were purple. But now,
    its white.

    Nice plant and easy to grow.

    Hi folks,
    While I was at Teo's, my wife picked up this plant because of it's pretty little flowers. Am wondering if it's the emersed form of Limnophila aromatica.

    Leaves are purple-colored beneath. Unsure about the "strong herbal smell" but crushing it produces some sort of scent.

    Following are some pics of the plant taken from my 2ft corridor tank.
