These are the cousins of the common Amazon sword that do not get much
taller than 7" or so... anyone got some they'll part with? Or know of
a good source? Just to clarify these are not the low growing
foreground plants like E. tenellus and E. quadricostatus. Thanks in
advance for any help.

Hi Leigh,

Well I ran across www.aquabotanic.com that says that the compacta
swords as I've been calling them for months are E. parviflorus var.
tropica. I take that to mean they're instead a Tropica variant off
the normal species. So, in essence you're right. Thanks for the
added info though. I'll certainly start checking under "rosette".
