First impression says Rotala (of some kind - there are a lot "going around") I'm not too happy about the vein on middle of leaf, though..........but you know, as well as I do, that leaves are poor for ID.
- have you got pic.s of submerged form?? This can help to strenghten/weaken the possibility of Rotala.
- somethong you got from a Wabi Kusa ??

Hi Mick
I received this small cutting from a member with a mixed bunch of other emersed plants!
Can't remember who...might have been Nelson or Greenfinger.
Has a pinkish hue to the leaf...I don't have a submerged cutting!
Its currently in my 20cm emersed cube!
Cheers

Emersed form of a young Pogostemon (stellatus) plantlet looks very simular from second pic.. I know Roy does Pogo growing emersed.When they grow bigger they get slightly lobed..

 

[Mick.Dk]

If it's a Rotala it will grow like mad emersed. You will soon be able to cut a bit to put submerse........

I like the Pogo. idea........but the edging of leaves should not be straight.

I made a little edit after you.. I'm growing it as well.. Thats why i say a young plantlet.. When they grow bigger they get slightly lobed..

Thanks Mick!

Or i'm completely suffering Alzheimer light again and forgot what i'm growing myself. Here are 2 a big and a small one, the small one already is lobing it's leaves..
But as far as i think to remember they came both from the same mother..

Thanks Marcel
Will need to wait a few months till it increases in size...to see if the leaf shape changes!

Great...so we don't know for sure

[G H Nelson]

Too small I think!

Doesn't seem to have changed appearance that much from emersed to submerged!
How long did you have it in the tank Neil?
