Default C. cordata spathe

I found this open this morning. It made my day.



I also posted this shot in the "Emersed Culture" forum, but post here again wondering if anybody might know variety for this plant(?). Here is a shot of the whole specimen in a riparium planter cupr



Any ideas?

Hi, this seemed to me to be closer to C. pontederiifolia as compared to C. cordata.

illumbomb, thanks. that seems to be the consensus. but what do you thin about the leaf color? isn't it very different from what is described for pontederifolia? perhaps i have a strange pontederifolia(?).

Hi, I have seen C. pontederiifolia with such brownish colour in the leaves before (see below).

Hi, sure, just use it. The photograph was taken in Singapore, C. pontederiifolia was introduced into a forest stream here by aquatic plant farmers to make use of the nature to propagate them for sale.

I am from Singapore, it is 01:54hrs now here in Singapore, I am a night owl!

Thanks very much. I will link to that as reference. That is a cool picture. Someday I wan to set up a display like that in a very shallow tank with shallow water at one end and emergent crypts growng up on a little sandbar.

So it must be June 17 there in Singapore right now(?).

I've had a PON plant grow brown leaves. Nutrient poor, submersed, low (grow lux light) and ignored for a year. When I got around to looking at it, the leaves were brown.
