Hello

I have a plant I would like identified. I tried looking for a picture of
this plant on a couple of Web sites, but I couldn't find one. The plant
has very distinctive look so, I hope, it shouldn't be too difficult to
identify it from a mere description.

The plant has elongated roundish leaves. Top surfaces of the leaves are
green, bottom surfaces are violet/purple. The leaves are visibly ruffled
and the edges seem to wrap up a bit. Every now and again the stem splits
into three stalks - the middle stalk continues to grow up, while the
side ones hold the leaves. Looks like every split is rotated 90 deg
relative to the previous one.

Does anyone know what's the name of this plant?

Sounds like one of the Cryptocorynes, I have seen them do this and elongate
the main stem. If you cut off the stem and plant it do the two parts
continue growing, the top part normally and the bottom producing small
plantlets?

Some of them seem to propagate like this, the stem bends over and where it
touches the gravel it roots.
