Description
A relatively new Hygrophila variant, not very well-known in Europe, not identified yet, but probably a variant of Hygrophila polysperma.

Please be aware that the bunch/potted variation of this plant could contain snails and other invertebrates.

It is often confused with another new plant, Hygrophila sp. 'Tiger'. Both may have a gridlike pattern on their leaves, however, submersed H. sp.
