Cryptocoryne grabowskii

Cryptocoryne grabowskii is usually treated as Cryptocoryne cordata var. grabowskii, a Bornean form of the variable C. cordata complex. GBIF resolves the name to C. cordata. Grow it like other blackwater Cryptocoryne: soft, acidic water, warm temperatures and low to moderate light, and avoid sudden changes, which trigger 'crypt melt'.
