Unique Rare Australian Vallisneria Jacobsi around 4 leaves

Vallisneria Jacobsi Portion Size : 1 plant with usually around 4 leaves (plant height usually around 20-30cm and leaves are broader than common Val) 
Portion Type: 100% submersed grown

Vallisneria Jacobsi is a unique Australian native Vallisneria that was discovered by Dave Wilson in the Northern Territory and officially described by Alex Martin.

Unlike most other Vallisnernia, this Val Jacobsi can grow reddish and pinkish leaves when they fully matured (above 40cm) and especially when growing with stronger lighting. They are currently around 30cm.

It also has broader leaves than common Vallisneria.

This unique Vallisneria is recommended for aquarium hobbyists who appreciate native Australian plants and like the appearance of a tall background plant with the potential for it to grow reddish leaves, which is uncommon for standard Vallisneria.

Based on the scientific thesis by Alex Martin B.Sc., University of Kansas, 2019, Vallisneria Jacobsii "distinguishes itself through a combination of morphological characters (i.e., alternating vertical red/green striping pattern and horizontal striations on leaves, and a basal growth form appearing distichous).
