I have no idea what it is as I got it in a deal with another hobbyist. He describes it as"a hygrophila like plant".

Thanks! This shouldn't be that hard. :wink:

I have a related question. I have a similar looking plant in my tank. I got it through a trade, identified by the owner as Hygrophila lacustris. Someone told me later that the plant is actually Hygrophila salicifolia. Now I see that a similar (or maybe the same) plant is Hygrophila augustifolia. I am totally confused. Does anyone have pictures of these three species and/or would be able to elaborate on the differences between them?

Thank you.

So, let's see if I got this right: the main difference is leaf size where from largest to smallest is: H. salicifolia, H. lacustris, H. augustifolia?

I have another Hygrophila that looks like H. salicifolia -- it's a stow-a-way stem on a plant order I made. This mystery Hygrophila throws out purple-ish new leaves with reddish-yellow veins that mature to green with slight purple overtones. Is that consistent with H. salicifolia? At the largest leaf point, the diameter is 1/2 inch wide. I'll post a photo sometimes next week.

Thanks again.
