    I'm sure I remember there being a Rotala Species which had three leaves per node, but I cannot fo rhte life of me remember what it was?

    Other than possibly this mysterious Rotala, I'm out of ideas what it could be? Non-Aquatic??

    As WBS says, a better pic may help?

    Regards
    G!

    I would have mistaken it for a Rotala Rotandifolia. . .leaves look to be similar. .

    Sorry about the pic guys the mms @WBS drop the quality and the Tapatalk does not allow much bigger either, the does seem to be a flower type thing but it is the same color as the leaves, which are more like golden brownish, has the be aquatic since it was submerged for some time before I got it...
