There are several forms and hybrids among "nanaformes", this particular
looks like A. "nangi" - cross between A. nana and A. giletii.

I now think it is some variety of cryptocoryne wendtii. It's been in for
quite some time now and is propagating rapidly but is staying small, so I'm
still happy with it. In fact, it's good because it would've taken many months
or lots of money to get enough anubias nana for the look I'm after.

But it's surely impossible to mix this two up - nothing in common (just the
same color:-)
OK, does it have a kind of a stem with leaves one by one along it, or
rosette-like crown?
Does it rigid enough to keep the shape being "ashore", or its leaves
demonstrate the presence of gravitation pointing downwards?

If you woke up breathing, congratulations!
You have another chance!

Goes downwards. Doesn't have a rhizome. It does look knda similar when very
small, like when I bought it, but not really. It was mislabeled, and I didn't
know better.
