Here's a pic of it in the foreground of my setup. Looking for a macro lenses for my camera so this is the best I could manage right now:Thankx Houseofcards, would you happen to have a good picture of it?

I've seen plants in person several times that were supposed to be 'Roraima' and they looked exactly the same as 'Porto Velho'. Do you have something different? Sure, it's possible. I just haven't seen what I consider string enough evidence that that's the case. I'm currently growing a few of these plants emersed so I can get a better idea of what's what. I'm leaning toward the 'Porto Velho' being a Staurogyne (waxy leaves emersed, densely pubescent stems above and below water, etc). More on that later, but if we can work out a trade or something so I can grow yours too, that would be cool.I have seen this. But they don't even look the same. The leaf margins are totally different looking as well as the petiole having tons of soft hairs with a purple tint.
That being said, I believe they are a different sp. I could be wrong, but from what my own eyes can see they are not the same.
I do have both species in different tanks, and side by side its night and day.
