I got it a while ago from someone who threw in some bonus random stems but I don't remember who.

Google lense says it is a type of Hygrophila but none of the species look right.

The leaves are fairly long and more on the delicate side. Growing without CO2.PXL_20221207_012039556.jpg.f1ce46afbb5c8051f0c5a3a72977b5af.jpgPXL_20221207_012042115.jpg.8c2fcdd275d273eec650936a130b1e91.jpg

Do their leaves get this long? Three are like 3-4 inches and stick up rather than out. Could that just be a lack of CO2 thing?

You know . . . now that you mention it . . . maybe that's a type of Ludwigia. I'm absolutely sure I've had it before. It's either a Ludwigia or Hygophylia. Yeah, my Hygros leaves grow long in different conditions.

Ok looking at more pictures I think you are right. There are pictures that look pretty similar being sold as hygrophylia polysperma "green"

I found someone asking on a Facebook group. Looks like this plant is likely a hygrophila corymbosa "angustifolia"

+1 for Hygrophila corymbosa, it could be any of the following 'variants': 'Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis'; Hygrophila corymbosa 'Stricta', less likely would be Hygrophila corymbosa 'Angustifolia' since it typically has red stems and reddish leaves.  -Roy

Funny you say that because I feel like it may have been you who IDed it on Facebook. At least I remember seeing an answer by you on something and thinking "Hey he's on the forums!"

Hi @Schuyler

I'm on several forums, most often here on CARE and PlantedTank.net but I am also on barrrepot.com, aquaticplantcentral.com fishlore.com, and simplydiscus.com.   I admin three FB groups for our local aquarium club, Greater Seattle Aquarium Society (gsas.org) as well being a board member for the club for for 12+ years.  Also a member of several other FB groups.  I am a retired club resident and just moved over to club treasurer from being the chairperson for the horticulture awards program for 15 years.  If websites allow I try to use the same user name. -Roy
