These are the Echinodorus pages of H.-P. Borgert
These deal with the sword plants of the genera Aquarius , Echinodorus and Helanthium from the family Alismataceae
The genus Aquarius was re-created in 2018 by Maarten J.M. Christenhusz and James W. Byng and includes all other previous Echinodorus species except Echinodorus berteroi. This was the largest revision of the genus Echinodorus to date.
This is one of the most comprehensive collections of species and cultivar names and synonyms of Amazon sword plants
It contains besides Echinodorus Berteroi the 26 Aquarius and 3 Helanthium species
over 1000 names of hybrids, synonyms and trade and national names.
I do not claim to be complete or highly scientific by any means. To many names one finds in the net and also in the literature little or nothing. If you notice any mistakes or missing plant names, please let me know via the Kontakt Formular
I am also very interested in pictures to enhance the whole thing even more.
