    Nice crypt! Care to share how you got it? Locally?
    Looks like C Affinis to me!

    Cheers!

    Erm, got it from Indonesia- Been told it's not not bullosa, keei or affinis.
    Heck even I don't know what it is hence Thomas has been kind enough to post it up.
    Looked it up in J Bastmeijer's page and got more confused.
    Won't know till either of us get's it to infloresce I guess.

    One thing for sure is that the bullated leaves are very attractive.
    PS: thanks Thomas for driving me around the farms and lfs!

    Able to identify with flower only. Look like Affinis to me. Remember I saw a stream full with affinis. There are 3 different looks. The emersed form of affinis look exactly the same in that picture.

    Hello Thomas & Stan,

    That's a tough one - try to get the submersed plant to flower! BTW, could you pease post a current pic?

    This doesn't strike me as affinis (not from Indonesia anyway) and I'm also pretty sure it isn't bullosa. If I had to guess, I'd think of hudoroi although my 2 strains look different. There have been some more recent collections of this species though...
    Regards,
    Kai

    Hi Kai, I think this plant is farmed in Indonesia.

    I will try to get it to flower[emersed]. I think that would be difficult considering my lousy planting skills. lol.

    Hello Stan,

    That speaks for either affinis or hudoroi. It's certainly a nice crypt for aquaria...

    Have you asked wether the farm has had this one flowering?
    Regards,
    Kai

    Hmmm, I didn't think to ask them as them for flowers if possible cos we were quite sure it's affinis.
    I'll pop by tomorrow or day after to ask them.

    Hi Kai,

    Do you not agree that this plant looks identical to the one posted by Dom on MAC?.

    i think its c. hudoroi
    i have some and its already cultivate in indonesia
    but they are cultivate in the nature way

    in indonesia there are one place who are cultivate crypto , such as red balance and wendtii , val gigantea etc

    but if you take direcly from that place the crypto need to adaptation, because the place are very cold
