I hope to figure out species/varieties for these plants. This text is copied in part from a post that I have over in the Aquascaping forum:

this is a bump. any ideas at all?

I'm no crypt expert (not even close), but here's my guess in order of appearance:

10 - C. wendtii (possibly 'brown')

05 - C. willisii or willisii x lucens

01 - C. willisii x lucens

04 - no idea

You may need to wait on some flowers/spathes to know for sure. So many of the crypt's have varying leaf shapes and colors that it can be difficult to tell.

Thanks! Those are good suggestions for 05. I need to look at more figures of C. willisii and willisii x lucens. My 01 looks a lot like my 05 in these pictures but they are rather distinct. 01 seems to grow much better as an underwater plant.

I think that 10 must be some kind of wendtii. Here is a picture of that plant's emersed growth, which is quite different from the underwater form.

could picture 5 be a C. parva?

Looks very big for parva.
