Aponogeton subconjugatus

A tuberous aquatic of seasonal pools across the West African Sahel and savanna, growing only in the rainy season and surviving the long dry season as a dormant tuber in dried mud. In cultivation it needs warm, bright water during growth and a genuine dry or cool rest afterwards.
