    Cryptocoryne crispatula var. Balansae or Cryptocoryne crispatula var. Flaccidifolia? Broad and narrow leaf balansae respectively.

    Geoff, thanks for the fast respond, but I'll like to debate that cos my this plant of mine does not have petiolate like the cryto you mention!

    Correct me if I am wrong

    Confused

    OK, seems like most polls are Crypto Balansae.

    Another 4 stalks to go. Any takers?

    Re: Urgent, plant ID, WTG

    Mike, those are very nice plants and judging from the 3rd pic, I'll have to go along with Geoffrey, that it's likely a C. balansae.

    Tempted as I am to ask if you have any left, it's best I leave it to others as balansae is one plant I can't keep alive in an aquarium. Those I'm growing emersed are doing fine though.
    I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,

    Hi all, seems that my plant here is not the C. Balansae afterall, I am quite sure it is the C. Retrospiralis.

    See pic I found on the net
    http://www.aquaria.ru/news/2001-01-31.shtml?2

    Th pic shows the rhizome, leaf width and the ugly roots, it totally resemble what I have in my tank!

    Thanks to Hobbit6003 from Arofanatic for his knowledge.
