Nice plants you picked up there. Last picture looks like a Crypt Balansae? Cool trip!

Must be nice to be able to have access to aquatic plants in the wild. Thanks for sharing.

!!!!!! wow!

I haven't heard of anyone actually keeping this plant. It is very rare in the US. Hope some eventually makes its way to us over here!! Very nice plants and great find!! Congrats

Hi tien13378,

Cryptocoryne balansae is treated today as a variety of Cryptocoryne crispatula, called C. crispatula var. balansae. As far as I know, at the moment the botanists distinguish 7 varieties of C. crispatula: http://crypts.home.xs4all.nl/Cryptoc.../alphabet.html
But apparently there are also forms or populations of C. crispatula not well fitting in any of the described varieties.
I mean, the inflorescence of Your Crypt points to Cryptocoryne crispatula, compare with these photos: http://crypts.home.xs4all.nl/Cryptoc...y/cri/cri.html
But I agree, it's not the var. balansae.

Cryptocoryne albida is very close to C. crispatula, apparently some plants have very similar inflorescences: http://crypts.home.xs4all.nl/Cryptoc...y/abi/abi.html

Is that a shaded habitat or is it more open? I can't quite tell. Water warm or cool?
