Just wanted to add some pics of my staurogynes. You guys make the call, I'll lable them as what I was told it is. All of them are grown in the same tank.

I am hoping to get some flowers off of them soon.

Low grow

Tropica

Roraima

All together....

awesome, thanks for the pics. If you get some flowers post those as well

Manini - Wow! They all surely look different.

With all due respect, have you read back through this thread? That may be what some of you guys are calling these plants, but I don't think it helps to introduce another common name to the mix, especially when it's attached to an incorrect genus.

Thanks for the pics Jojo. They really help. Looks like the Tropica stuff may really be different. Let's get some flowers going!

I tested out some Staurogyne sp. for Tropica around 18 months ago.

Here are some images from my 2.5 gal. nano.

it's noticeable that the genus Staurogyne is not treated in C.D.K. Cook 1996, Aquatic Plant Book. Maybe no staurogyne species meets Cook's criteria for "aquatic plant", or perhaps there is too little information about their ecology.

I noticed that too, but nearly all of the specimens of smaller species I've seen have them as coming from stream banks and seasonally flooded areas.

Nice! Does it have dense pubescence on submersed stems? I'm struck by how similar the veins and leaf texture look to the 'Porto Velho', which at this point would surprise me greatly if it turned out to be anything other than a Staurogyne. It seems easy to spot them once you've gained some familiarity.
