    Hey Simon, thanx for the ID. But pics 2 and 3 are supposedly different as they were in two separate bundles. Teo mumbled something starting with "n" (amongst the many bundles so I am confused which one he is referring to). If I recall correctly pic 3 has a soft leave blade and a pronounced and sometimes reddish main vein.

    yah, the second one is quite big, that's why it is shot portrait format. Each frame is roughly A4 size. But I didn't get any wendtii yesterday.

    you bet! that's why I am totally confused, but I also know that Teo gave a different name for each bundle

    Choy: I also got the plant in Pix 4. Teo sold it to me as C.nevillii.
    See http://www.home.zonnet.nl/Ericnaus/P...e_nevillii.htm for pic.

    But Simon is right. According to Jacobsen, C.nevillii should be correctly called Cryptocoryne x willissi.

    See Kasselmann book for some descriptions too.

    I have something he mumbed "n..." and also a separate bundle he calls "lucens" which is the × willisii. I recall the one he called lucens could be pic 2 or 3 because the leaves were quite long and soft. pic 4 the leaves are quite tough.
