Plant ID Please - new pic 07/26

This is the only one still needing ID:



Here's a new pic. This one plant had dislodged so many times that some of the roots had gone green. Now the roots that were green are sprouting little baby plants.

^ That would be good...Jungle Val is from Asia too, and would be more likely to like my tank. Although it would do a good job of outgrowing it!

A quick peek at the plant profiles and Google search both say V. americana is from Asia.

Doing Google image searches on V. americana and S. subulata don't show any distinguishing features (to my eye anyway). It's obvious now though, that it is in fact NOT C. helferi which is what it was sold to me as. Maybe I will have to wait to see how (if haha) they grow?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I see!!! If you put 'gigantea' on the end it is from Asia. Otherwise, it is from North America!! They need to edit the Plant Profiles!

Damn...looks like I gotta pull it and find some new grassy-looking Asian plants!
