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 crispatula var. balansae spathe
This is an emersed pot of a generic Crypt . crispatula that came to me unlabelled so at some point I called it 'balanasae' on the basis of the submersed leaves. Emersed the leaves looks a bit like flaccifolia - due the uncertain ID its not a plant I care about so much - but I like to celebrate a spathe and one day I might be more confident with the ID of this one.
