It requires bright light to grow well and quite slow.

Looks like a Marsilea sp., a kind of aquatic fern.... do a search for Marsilea and you should fine more info in past threads.

Anyone knows where to get it ? Would like to replace glosso with this as this will not grow tall but crypt horizontally.

Cheers

Quite a few farms and LFS (check those in Boon keng/Lavender) area have it, but these are the larger emersed (four-leaf clover) form.... they will take time to adapt to underwater conditions, and grow much much more slowly compared to glosso... and can be prone to algae coverage. Lighting should be somewhat lower than that used for glosso.

There is a tall species (M. quadrifolia) which reaches over a foot when emersed.

And please don't mix crypts with creeps.... thanks.
