    I have seen some Aponogeton madagascariensis with narrow leaves and other with broad leaves. Are the 2 named differently? If we order the plant from tropica, which version will we get?

    I am looking for the broad leave version. Also I have send a pm to the merchant selling this plant. Any info/help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Bro Nicky,
    You are exactly right, there are 2 species of aponogeton with 'skeleton' leaves.
    The bigger leaves is apo.madagascariensis (trade name: Madagascar Lace Plant) , while the broad leaves known as apo.madagascariensis var 'henkelianus' (trade name : Henkelianus Lace Plant ).
    Hope this information helps...
