Revernance

I think I might have two different plant. I know one of them has to be Rotala indica.
The other one looks like Rotala indica, but it has THREE leaves per node. From my understanding, Rotala indica has TWO leaves per node?
I'm so confused!

I'm assuming that you're talking about Rotala rotundifolia, which is quite common in the hobby. R. indica is really something else.

Anyway, as with many stem plants, the number of leaves per node is variable. Nodes may have two, three or even four leaves. Rotala sp. 'green', which may or may not be a variety of R. rotundifolia, always has two.
