That's a tough one to identify, Au. I have never seen such a plant before. From your 3rd picture, it looks like a Banana Tree
Where did you get the plant? Maybe if you give us some clues, we can help you identify it.

One good thing would be to show the roots or bulb, how it will grow.
And I must say it looks very nice.

The closest thing that comes to mind is Aponogeton boivinianus. The one I had came with a large rounded bulb, and the leaves got almost three feet long and maybe 3-4 inches wide. Nice plant but I had to remove it as it was taking up 1/3 of a 125 gallon tank.

Well, I got the plant when it's just about 1cm in size. It was mixed in-between a bunch of Java moss when I got the moss from a friend.
When I saw the plant, it's leaf texture was so different and I decided to plant it in my tank.The texture on the leaf makes the plant looks like a plastic plant!
It propagate by sending a stock with a planlet growing on it. Take a closer look at the picture 2 where there are 3 stocks of plantlets growing out.The plant don't send out flower stocks like Aponogeton species. It also do not have a bulb below.
Anyone have any idea what plant is this?

Whatever it is, it is pretty and very unique in its appearance. I wouldn't mind having a plant like that in my tank. I'll keep an eye on this thread and if it is identified, I will try to get one for my tank.

Hi David,
If you're interested on this plant, I'll try to send the plantlet to you during the summer. Yon may have to wait till then as the weather on your side maybe too cold.
Try to see if you can help to identify this plant later after I send it to you. Keep me posted when the weather is fine for you to receive plants.

The plant cannot be a Aponogeton. Neither does it look like an Echinodorous. I must say it's a strange one. Are you sure it isn't plastic, Au? You're not pulling our legs, are you?

What do you think? How wonderful if I can get plastic plants to propagate and Sia Meng you can forget about your tissue culturing. Come to my place and I'll show you how I cultivate plastic plants!Originally Posted by timebomb
Well, it's really not a plastic plant! :wink: Maybe I'll just bring a plantlet to the gathering and see if anyone can identify the plant Thereafter, send it to Teo (The Plant Expert) for verification

Overall look of the plant.

In thailand excessively and called 'chaba' maybe 'brown color' or green color'

Hi thaikilli,
Are you also know as Petrekilli? Just curious. Hope you don'y mind.
By the way, do youhave any idea of the scientific name of this plant?

Hi all,
I wrote to Tropical to ask them some questions on the reclassification of Ludwigia Sp Cuba as a variance of “inclinata”. In my mail I asked about this plant, this is reply from Mr Martin from Tropical.
This plant might look different from undulates, who knows this might be a result of mutations. Who know if this plant is not found elsewhere in the wild, the scientist might call it Aponogeton Undulatus Var Singapore or Aponogeton Undulatus Var Ausl.Ludwigia Sp Cuba has been identified as an "inclinata" The plant on the photos are an Aponogeton Undulatus. However it is a varigated type and they can differ a lot.
regards
if it is a natural hybrid it might be given the name Aponogeton × auii or even A. × ponggolensis
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Hi everyone,
Just found the exact plant in the new Oriental Book, on page 50.
However they put 2 names,
Aponogeton undulatus
Aponogeton stachysporus
Found in India, Thailand, Burma.
It looks identical...
Christel Kasselman lists Aponogeton undulatus and Aponogeton stachysporus as synonyms, and adds Southeast Asia as their range. With such a large range, I wouldn't be surprised to see immense variation in growth habit and leaf structure. That's probably why botanists rely on influorescence, pollen and fruit/seed properties to establish a species' identity. A. undulatus is also supposed to be the only one in the genus to reproduce vegetatively via adventitious plant on long stems (ala Echinodorus), but I am not sure whether this trait is preserved in hybrids.
I've sent the plantlets to a hobbyist in United States and I've received this image from him that the plant is now shooting out plantlets! :wink:
Seems like he'll be able to distribute the plantlets pretty soon.
