Description
Staurogyne sp. "Bihar" has been known in the hobby in the US for a longer time, in Europe it is still very new. It has been brought on the market here only a short time ago. It probably comes from the state of Bihar in northern India. First it was thought to be a Hygrophila species. This Staurogyne is a strong, large stem plant with highly variable leaves and green to reddish-brown hues. Some of the leaves are lobed and resemble those of Hygrophila pinnatifida.
Staurogyne sp. "Bihar" was imported from the north Indian state Bihar as an alleged Hygrophila species. However, its flower characteristics suggest that this unidentified plant might belong to the genus Staurogyne. Its submersed leaves are partially lobed and thus looks like Hygrophila pinnatifida.
S. sp. "Bihar" is widely spread in the aquarium hobby in the USA. It was imported into Russia over a year ago, but in the rest of Europe, it has probably not made its way into the hobby yet.

Sehr interessante Pflanze
Ein echter Hingucker im Aquarium! Habe diese Pflanze in meinem 50er Würfel als Hintergrundpflanze eingesetzt und dort macht sie sich bestens! Denke sie kommt gerade in größeren und nicht ganz so niedrigen Becken am besten zur Geltung. Das außergewöhnliche Blattwerk überzeugt durch seine Einzigartigkeit und ist wirklich sehr schön! Eine sehr interessante Abwechslung im Becken, zudem macht sie bisher einen ziemlich robusten Eindruck.
Auslieferungszustand wie bei allen hier bisher gekauften Pflanzen top und der Versand ging auch wie gewohnt blitzschnell!
They've been in the biotope tank for 1 week, haven't lost a single leaf and are already growing busily. (read more)

Absolut empfehlenswert.
Sie sind seit 1 Woche im Biotopbecken, haben nicht ein Blatt verloren und wachsen schon fleißig. Sind schöne, kräftige Pflanzen die das Gewusel und Gebuddel meiner Botias sehr gut ab können.
Staurogyne sp. Bihar is a very robust and at the same time beautiful plant. It is ideally suited not only for the midground but also for the background.
