Aponogeton longiplumulosus

A Madagascan aquatic Aponogeton with long, narrow submerged leaves, known in the aquarium trade. It grows from a tuber in lowland rivers and streams of northern and western Madagascar, where a wet season from November to April alternates with a drier, slightly cooler winter. Like most Madagascan Aponogeton it benefits from a resting period for the tuber.
