Anubias Barteri var. Nana 'Narrow Leaf'
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Narrow Leaf' is a highly compact, robust, and visually distinct variant of the classic dwarf spear leaf aquarium plant. this slow-growing epiphyte differs from standard Anubias nana by sporting significantly narrower, more elongated leaves and a tightly dense growth habit. It is highly favored in aquascaping because it maintains a miniature scale, is tough enough to withstand herbivorous fish and cichlids, and brings a unique fine-textured geometry to foreground and midground layouts.
