Plant ID please?

[cambrew]

I am just after a difinitive identification. I have tried to research but because it is changing now it is growing submerged it is confusing me and the people I bought it off didn't label it in the package.
TIA cheers

Well plants that are grown emerged commonly have different leaves on them, compared to leaves that grow once the plant is fully submerged. Such as with a Amazon Sword will have more rounded leaves on them when grow emerged, once fully submerged the leaves become elongated and longer.

But unknown to type of species....

It looks like some type of ludwigia to me.

This is my red ludwigia I just got a few days ago. I don't think they had it fully submerged before I got it.

It looks like Rotala rotundifolia to me.

Here are some examples of Rotala rotundifolia emersed form:




And here are examples of R. rotundifolia submersed form:





The color of the plant and density of the leaves depend on the conditions in which it's grown, so it can vary a bit in appearance, and its color will range from pale green to vivid red (like many other plants, bright light and high iron content will bring out the red).
