Re: Name this plant... no I have amazon sword too, the sword is smaller and the leaves are longer and narrower. I probably should have put something in the picture for scale but this is a fairly large plant. I have posted a pic of the whole tank (220l) and this is the plant on the back left side.

Re: Name this plant... ok, from the thread I've settled on the ID of Echinodorus Cordifolius
According to Wiki:- Echinodorus cordifolius is very easily determined, as it is the only species with arching to decumbent inflorescences. In addition, it is the only one with papillate veins on the sepals. source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinodorus_cordifolius However I have no idea what that means! |

Re: Name this plant... certainly does look like Echinodorus Cordifolius, i'd have to agree with you there.
I'd also have to agree i'm completely clueless to what the above says  |

Re: Name this plant... I've used a dictionary to translate wiki's text...
Echinodorus cordifolius is very easily determined, You can tell this plant no problem, as it is the only species with arching to decumbent inflorescences. as its the only one which has groups of flowers bent back to the surface. In addition, it is the only one with papillate veins on the sepals. and the veins stick out on the inner petals of the flower. I think that's right... doesn't help when you don't have a flowering specimen though  |
