Lagenandra praetermissa

Lagenandra praetermissa is a rare species found in India and Sri Lanka that has only recently begun to circulate in the specialist aquarium plant hobby. Its name means 'overlooked' or 'neglected' in Latin — a reference to its historical under-documentation despite being a genuinely attractive species. It produces broad, glossy dark green leaves forming a compact rosette, sharing the general robustness of the Lagenandra genus but requiring more stable, mature aquarium conditions to truly thrive.
