Not sure, but possibly rotala rotundfolia sp. green or possibly star grass. What size is the plant? I am thrown of as there is nothing to compare it to in relation. Nice healthy plant.

Might as well use this thread to get these plant ID's I bought from a LFS today.

Plant No. 1

Plant No. 2

This plant has a nice colorful redish leaves. The leaves are larger than some Rotalas species and very much smaller than L. Repens X Arcuata.

Thanks for the help.

Agreed. A larger picture would be nice along with something to compare its size to but I'm leaning toward the Rotala sp. 'green'.

@ herns

Plant 1 is some type of Hygrophila corymbosa. IDK what strain though.
Plant 2 looks like Ludwigia inclinata.

I did some online search of the names you have given and they are pretty much look the same.

Plant No.1

Plant No. 2- Here is link to a good list of Ludwigia species.
I love this plant. I might go back to LFS this weekend and get the last pot.

OP, you have rotala "green". It doesn't get any more definitive than this, you even take similar pics!

EDIT- NVM you cant post a genus page from there. Just scroll to the Ludwigia page under Genus and start looking. Best online plant data base IMO.
