Description: 

Lagenandra nairii comes from the Indian state of Kerala and has so far only been found at its type locality (Athirappally Falls, Chalakkudi River). There the species colonises the shady river bank and is flooded during the rainy season. It was discovered in 1981 and scientifically described in 1984.

In the hobby, L. nairii is known mainly as a marsh plant cultivated emersed. However, it is apparently also suitable as a submersed aquarium plant.

It is the only Lagenandra species that reproduces by runners, as is known from Cryptocoryne species.

Wasserpflanzen sind ein fester Bestandteil der meisten Aquarien. Beim Aquascaping, dem Naturaquarium, Biotop-Aquarium oder dem Gesellschaftsaquarium sind Wasserpflanzen nicht nur für die Wasserqualität entscheidend, sondern sorgen auch stets für eine optische Aufwertung des Aquariums.
