Born to be mild

This is a photo of M. quadrifolia in its emersed growth state. When kept in an aquarium for any length of time it will revert to its submersed growth state in which the four-lobed leaf structure changes to a larger single-lobed leaf structure reminiscent of Glossostigma elatinoides, but noticeably larger in size and darker green in color.
