It might be Hygrophila angustifolia
Chainsword looks like to me. Lego's name may be that tho, im just not good with scientific names.
It's Hygrophila corymbosa 'angustifolia', most likely. H. angustifolia (just straight angustifolia) is actually a different species:

i have the same plant it was i.d.ed as Hygrophila angustifolia after researching it and seeing its weed like growth i believe the id was correct

Not the same. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/...s.php?id=139&category=family&spec=Acanthaceae
Interesting Tinanti. I thought they were the same species. So the true H. angustifolia is pretty rare in the hobby then?

It is here at least. It does show at least superficial similarities to the 'Sarawak', but I'm not certain of that yet. I should be able to find out, either by flowering it again and comparing to some good descriptions and/or with help from some specialists I know. It's on my list though. :)
I don't know offhand what all the differences are, but when we compare them side by side (or at least their descriptions), differences like pubescence on the stems, bracts, flowers and so on will be apparent. They also occupy different ranges, etc. Yours is a simple question with a complicated answer! :eek:

More later.
Thanks for the help guys.
