Dear Friends,
Yes, there are Urospatha, which I saw growing on the banks of a larger tidally affected river in Fr. Guyana, looked beautiful underwater at high tide! I`m sure Anaphyllum (India), Anaphyllopsis (S.America), Lasia (Asia) Lasimorpha (Africa) nad Podolasia all should grow well under similar conditions.

Please may I ask which species of Homalomena, & species of other aroid genera apart from well known Cryptocoryne, Anubias, Lagenandra, & even Spathiphyllum can thrive as submerged aquatics?
