Plant Id Please

Anyone know what plant this is?

Aquatic plant names just don't stick with me. Reason I ask is because I was going to offer some as a swap for some Eleocharis "parvula"
(dwarf hairgrass) in the buy/sell/swap forum.

Hygrophila corymbosa

bit of a guess judging the leave shape and the way the stem looks

but wait for clarification

I think its Stargrass - Heteranthera zosterifolia. I'll not bet my house on it though
Really healthy lookin' specimen too

that was my first thought too.

Google image search for Heteranthera zosterifolia throws up many images that look identical. I'm happy it's that plant, if not a very close relative.

Now off to try and swap some for Eleocharis "parvula".

Cheers

I just want a plant that isn't high maintenance, that can be used as a carpet in the foreground. Used to use Riccia, but got tired of having to redo it all.

Seen pics of parvula and it looks stunning. If it's hard work then I'll gladly go for something else.
