Description
The Black Amazon Swordplant is named after the dark red-brown nervature pattern on its young, newly appearing leaves. This long known Echinodorus wild type was originally imported from the Amazonian part of Peru and is also known as "Echinodorus peruensis" and E. parviflorus.
Echinodorus grisebachii 'Parviflorus' develops a dense, broad rosette of countless sword-shaped, lanceolate leaves. About 3-4 new leaves appear each month.
Compared to e.grisebachii 'Bleherae' and 'Amazonicus', 'Parviflorus' remains considerably lower and is much more recommended for medium-sized tanks than the two bigger grisebachii forms. It is also less light-demanding.
