Staurogyne repens?

metallicanick78 · 08-17-2012, 05:13 PM

was one of my thoughts, and now that I re-looked that up it looks pretty close to some of the less lower growing pictures of staurogyne repens. I was thinking that the leaves looked too long, but now I think your right...

Looks like a type of Hygrophila corymbosa, definitely not S. repens. Not sure which type though. Maybe H. corymbosa salicifolia?

It was Staurogyne sp. 'low grow'. Not seen around much lately it seems.

Ive never seen Hygrophila corymbosa before, and the google pics actually look exactly like it too! Thanks for that. Ill have to do some more searching.
