Echinodorus Grisebachi 'Tropica', also known as Echinodorus Parviflorus 'Tropica', is a small characteristic plant-sword that was discovered in the tropica nursery in Denmark in the 1980s. This plant is well suited to the pre-plan or in the middle of aquariums because of its compact size, which generally varies from 5 to 10 cm high. It forms a rosette spread out with medium to dark green leaves, slightly bulletped, narrow and oboval, resembling Samolus Valerandi.
