jude Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My leopard sword has spots Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 There are not many horizontalis around and they do not have spots. The spots are more distinctive in strong light. I suspect the leopard is a cultivar crossed with horizontalis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 The roots look too frail for an anubias sp. my guess is that it is a sword, I just have no idea what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestothemax Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 it seems to be to tall for horizontalis. i have a leopard sword that seems to be horizontalis and the leaves never get anywhere near that high. they just go straight out horizontally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 The stalk of the leaf on horizontalis goes out at 45 deg then the leaf part is horizontal, the opposite of martii which goes at 45 deg then vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 It looks like muricatus. MAF considers muricatus, grandifolius and horizontalis as the same species so probably why it is picked as horizontalis. Doesn't look anything like horizontalis at all.
