    Not sure what is this plant. I don't think it is Gratiola sp.
    Got it from Toh emersed form and it had 3 leaves per node.
    Now submersed form.

    its gratiola sp. I believe, I got the same thing from him when I asked for gratiola , but mine ended up with mutated leaves/holes (probably too soft water), so I chucked it.

    Maybe it is. But I have kept Gratiola sp. before and the leave tips turn purplish nearer the lights. This one doesn't or not yet.

    See DEA's tank which has reddish Gratiola sp.

    Simon's isn't a gratiola, but a ludwigia sp.

    I got some from him via teo, but in the end threw it away.

    fast grower, but bba likes to settle on the leaves, put in anti algae to kill off bba, but unfortunately this plant suffered pretty much lots of abuse (like being in front of filter output.) that it just started dropping leaves.

    might possibly be this

    Gratiola sp.

    ^^ who is this sp fellow, he seems to find lots of plants

    Limpnophila sp . (more likely the gratiola sp like plant you described with changing color)

    When I had the Gratiola sp., there are branches from the same plant and one would have reddish leaves and the other steadfastly remains green, both under the same lighting conditions and not shaded. So you plant could be the "green" form of Gratiola sp. It looks quite similar to the one I had.

    One way of telling Gratiola is the charateristic odour, take some and break the stem, the cross section of the stem is also characteristic, it is hollow and has this cross sectional pattern.
    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.
