Aponogeton undulatus

A submerged aquatic Aponogeton with wavy-edged, translucent green leaves rising from a small rhizome, native to South and Southeast Asia and long grown in aquariums. It wants warm soft water, moderate light and a nutrient-rich substrate; some plants rest in winter.

Where it grows wild

Grows submerged in slow streams, ditches and ponds in the humid tropical lowlands; the true species does not form floating leaves.

Lowland; most records near sea level. One measured site at about 1,270 m is unusual and may be mis-placed or cultivated.
