Crypts are interesting and beautiful aquatic plants, but with fewer growers and tight import restrictions we're now losing varieties from cultivation in Australia. I'm propagating crypts to pass on to other growers to keep them in the aquarium hobby and building a resource to help with identification. I'm always looking to buy or swap for new varieties to grow.

Cryptocoryne albida 'costata' (Dennerle Cryptocoryne costata)
This variety of Crypt. albida is distributed in europe by Dennerle under the synonym Cryptocoryne costata. It has a very narrow tall "trumpet" with a twist at the top. I have a second plant of this variety that has two older spathes on at the moment that looks the same and didn't unroll further. It seems quite different to another Crypt. albida 'costata' that I obtained from an Australian grower that has much fatter and more open spathes.
