Cryptocoryne sivadasanii

sivadasanii

This is a small to medium-sized specimen. Leaves frequently get 6-8 feet long. They don't send out runners but produce daughter plants at the base. When grown emersed, it's a small scrawny plant. Easy, hardy plant that doesn't melt and extra-long leaves can be trimmed like Vallisneria. - Vin Kutty, 2017

SPI huegelii

Cryptocoryne spiralis (Retzius) Fischer ex Wydler var. huegelii (Schott) Bogner

Described in 2013 by Bogner and Largest of the C. spiralis forms, it only occurs in a very limited range at high altitude, in fact, these may be the first photos of the plant ever published and it should prove to be a superb aquarium plant. Around Karnataka it grows fully submerged then during the dry season occurs in moist-to-dry areas. Thin narrow leaf with orange to dark brown color when submerged. Thin rhizomes; flowers in January - this perennial Cryptocoryne prefers to grow in clay mixed sand in shady areas

The Species description for C. spiralis var. huegelii and C. spiralis var. caudigera also contains a key to C. spiralis (German).
