This variant of Lagnendra meeboldii from Kerala is having an eye-catching purplish red leaves with prominent black script on the upper surface of the leaves resembles a ‘bleeding heart’
This unique form of Lagenandra meeboldii has an eye-catching almost black stripe pattern on a purplish red background. It was found in 2009 by a team from Sreepadma company in the Wayanad region of Kerala and propagated through tissue culture. Younger plants initially form olive-green to red-brown leaves for a longer time, similar to L. meeboldii "Red". The striking leaf markings only appear on mature, older plants. These have in the submerged form about 10 cm long, 4.8 cm wide ovate leaf blades on 10 cm long petioles. The plant grows to at least 15 cm high and forms a thick, creeping rhizome.
The variable species Lagenandra meeboldii from south-western India is an amphibious plant that can grow above and below water. In nature, it grows on shady, swampy, intermittently flooded stream banks.
