Hydrocotoyle leucocephala (water pennywort)
Tall stem plant (over 20") with heart-shaped green leaves of 1" diameter. Develops several small roots at each node. Tolerates 50-82F. Will grow floating when it reaches the top of the water and flower in the aquarium. Doesn´t root well, so needs to be refreshed occasionally from cuttings. Leaves look kind of like Cardimine lyrata.
