Cryptocoryne Lutea

Cryptocoryne walkeri ("lutea") was originally thought to be a separate species.  It is now considered to be part of the rather broad species, C. walkeri.  Cryptocoryne lutea is a great aquarium plant for the midground areas.  Cryptocoryne lutea forms nice full clumps of plants with medium sized light green leaves.  Use Cryptocoryne lutea as a filler around other plants or in front of a stand of plants with a different color and leaf shape.
