Crypt ID - Cryptocorynes

Hi all!

I'm a beginner in the Crypt world.

Can anybody help me to ID this Cryptocorine?

Thanks for all.

It might be the triploid form of C. beckettii (C. petchii). On the other hand it could be one of the many C. wendtii varieties. I lean slightly towards the first guess. With the passage of time, it should get bigger, and maybe more easy to identify.

Doesn't look as much like BEK to me as mush as brown WEN.

But, one guess is good as another

It was planted 9 months ago, may be it shouldn't get bigger.

I have a lot of unknown crypts

Try growing some runners emersed on a shady window sill - only flowering plants of most of the Sri Lankan crypts will reveal their identity. That said, I'd also guess at petchii...

Nice Crypt-tank you have, they looks healthy.

Allway is so difficult IDing plants without flower in the Sri-Lanka types, even with flower would be difficult due to the bad culturing techniques of the nuerseries in Spain.

(Nice to see people form Spain on the board)
