Aquaflora Cryptocoryne x willisii

This crypt is a time-tested, undemanding medium-green aquarium plant that forms a relatively low medium-green lawn after some time by growing runners. Its leaves are wider, and it grows much faster than the tiny Cryptocoryne parva. For a long time it has been popular under the erroneous name of "Cryptocoryne nevillii", but today it is counted among Cryptocoryne x willisii, a very variable hybrid complex from Crypocoryne parva and other Sri Lankan species such as C. beckettii and C. walkeri. Its submerged leaves are mostly medium green, sometimes also with brownish tones. The plant is mostly delivered in its terrestrial form that can develop leaves on very long stalks, however its submerged foliage stays a lot shorter. Cryptocoryne x willisii "lucens" looks rather similar, but Cryptocoryne x willisii "nevillii" has shorter more ovate leaf blades.
