The crispus originates in Sri Lanka and can tolerate a wide variety of temperautures.  Crispus grows from a round rhizome and has leaves that will grown between 8 and 14 inches depending on conditions.  It will flower frequently and unlike some of this group does not have a dormant period.  It can look spectacular at the rear of the tank but also framing the set up at the middle ground to one end of the tank.  Well worth adding to your collection.
