Echinodorus Grisebachii 'Amazonicus' in jar - Aquaflora

Echinodorus Grisebachii 'Amazonicus', commonly known as Echinodorus Amazonicus, was marketed for the first time around 1938 with the wrong name Echinodorus Brevipedicellatus (a Synonymous with Echinodorus longipethus) and continued to be called so until he was described by Karel Rataj in 1970 as a new species (Echinodorus Amazonicus). The region of origin is given by the Brazilian Amazonian plain (Rondônia and pará), where the plant described as an Amazonicus Echinodorus was found over 50 to 100 cm of depth, in water with a slow current.

Echinodorus Grisebachii 'Amazonicus' develops very narrow leaf blades, lanceolate, slightly submerged falling. In the aquarium it can reach a height of more than 60 cm, similar to that of Echinodorus Grisebachii 'Bleherae', but differs from the latter especially for the shape of the narrowest leaves.

The submerged plants that grow well emit about 1-2 new leaves a week and often develop long inflorescences with lightened plants that flood themselves under the water surface.
