Totally agree with you. It was labeled sp Marup engkelili when I got it. But the leafs looks like longicauda. Well the flower kinda confirmed it.

Rs,
What type of sand do you recommend? I will definitely try since your is a much economical formula. Can't stand the price of ADA for long with the recent large fuel price hike in Malaysia.
