I believe this is "cryptocoryne nurii pink line"

HYG the Google Images link

Can't say whether it's pink line or not but it does seem to be C. nurii.

It was shaded until recent, will see if the coloration changes in a week or two.

A relevant question. What is the difference between crypt nurii pink line and Rosen maiden?

I wish someone had grown them side by side.

Niels Jacobson used to say that you really can't ID a cryptocoryne unless you see the flower.

In my experience, the varietal "Pink Line" has a clearly visible pinkish line running down the middle. "Rosen Maiden" and has the patten shown above. It lays flat with strong light which is what we are seeing in the above picture.

You know, I had someone come up to the tank and look at a picture similar to the updated one above and ask me, "Did those leaves fall in the tank?"

Agree with @Art about the flowering since conditions will change the look somewhat. Here's one of my Nurii I think is Rosen Maiden, but not 100% sure.

@Art Thanks for the explanation.

I would say it is nurii 'Rosen Maiden'. Here is mine grown emersed with spathe: Cryptocoryne nurii var. raubensis 'Rosen Maiden'
