Description: 

Helanthium bolivianum 'Vesuvius' is better-known under the name Echinodorus 'Vesuvius'. It is the first cultivar from the group of runner-forming "grasslike" sword plants. According to recent relatedness analyses these belong in a genus of their own, though, as does, of course, the cultivar 'Vesuvius': Helanthium.

H. bolivianum 'Vesuvius' was selected from mother plants of Helanthium bolivianum "Angustifolius" (= Echinodorus angustifolius) by the breeder Eu Kwee Hwang in the aquatic plant nursery Oriental Aquarium (Singapore).
During Interzoo 2006, the Dutch company Stoffels International BV presented the new cultivar.
