Description: 

Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata "Araguaia" is a local form of the whorly-leaved L. inclinata var. verticillata that reportedly originates from the Rio Araguaia in eastern Brazil. It resembles the more well-known L. inclinata var. verticillata "Cuba" very much but has predominantly green tones. It also differs from the "Cuba" by narrower underwater leaves and a lower tendency to form lateral shoots. "Araguaia" is said to have identical demands as the "Cuba".
This form of L. inclinata var. verticillata is seemingly rather known to hobbyists in the USA but hardly in Europe yet. We are thankful for further information about this rare Ludwigia.

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.
