hi bluebubbles,

it is Lagenandra.

[bennyc]

Lagenandra is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family.[1] It consists of 16 species of plants that are endemic to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and India.[2] The genus is similar to Cryptocoryne, but can be distinguished from it by its involute vernation. Cryptocoryne on the other hand exhibit convolute vernation.[3]

The process of convolute vernation involves the wrapping of one margin of the leaf's blade over the other. This folding mechanism makes the emerging leaf look like a tube.
In involute vernation both margins on opposing sides of the leaf are rolled up forming two tubes that meet at the midrib of the leaf.

Together we learn!

Oh, Thank you so much!! I thought it was crypt parva. I kept typing "lagenandra" nothing came out of google.

try wiki then. There are several variant of lagenandra, not sure what is yours. Too young to tell. Seems like lagenandra undulata but i am really not sure.

I will try to get crypt parva someday and put them together. Now Lagenandra is inside my tank, will see how it turns out.
