Botanical name [?]: Aponogéton rigidifólius H. Bruggen

Major group (unranked): Seed plants: Flowering plants (Angiosperms)

Order: Alismatales

Family: Aponogetonaceae

Genus: Aponogeton

Description:

Aponogeton rigidifolius has banded undulate submersed leaves that grow to a length of over 60 cm. It inhabits slow to fast flowing waters in the south-west of Sri Lanka. Other than most Aponogeton species it does not form a bulb but a long, thin, ramifying rhizome.

Its scientific name translates as stiff-leaved Aponogeton. It is described as demanding, light-loving plant that grows rather slowly. CO2 injection and a good water movement are recommendable for its cultivation.
