This is suppose to be Eriocaulon Cinereum, 'XiaoGuJingChao' bought from Taiwanese lady at Serangoon North.

Since it was small, I guess it has been wrongly label and sold as 'XiaoGuJing'. This is definitely not 'XiaoGuJing' (Cinereum).

The leaf is also not fine enough to call it a 'XiYieGuJing' (Fine leaf Cinereum)

If no one offer a name for it, I shall call it Long leaf Cinereum 'ChangYieGuJing'

Looks a bit like a mature eriocaulon sp australia. Can't really tell as it's hard to see the leaves and actual size. Haven't seen pics of any with roots like yours though.

Its still Cinereum. The sp originates from taiwan. Sometimes you might see it in the local lfs...

Does it look like this Eriocaulon sp from Australia?
I trimmed away the lower leaf, as it trap a lot of debris.

There isn't any right price for such collectible item,
I bought mine at $8 when it was 1cm in diameter. Check out Serangoon North, tw lady shop, see if they sell you from the display.
