I have my doubt - can't find any images that look similar. Someone elsewhere suggested c. becketti but i don't think that is right either.

C. Becketti Petchii actually does look more like it, but I have no idea how to properly identify these plants haha

Is it the same for buce? Is there a website that help with buce ID?

Buce are similar but im not 100% sure. As far as I know there is not alot of scientific data to back up identifying them. Unless you are buying tissue cultures they are generally harvested unstainably, and locations are kept secret by the ones collecting for the most part.

I'm sure there is something more up to date, but if you are a member of the AGA and want to see an excellent presentation on Buce, then go to the convention videos for Denver. Ghazanfar Ghori gave the best presentation on Buce. If I recall correctly, there is a bit of ID in it.
Duh... looks like you have a sub-group in this forum for Buces also.

Just watched it, great presentation! It’s the 2017 convention if anyone else also wants to check it out. I’m curious if he has a more recent updated version, I’m sure more buce are identified now.I'm sure there is something more up to date, but if you are a member of the AGA and want to see an excellent presentation on Buce, then go to the convention videos for Denver.

G has exited the planted tank hobby. I hope he will be back some day, but he burned out. He was a big influence for many years. He started GWAPA. At the 2004 Washington DC AGA he even hosted a reception at his house that was attended by Amano, Jan Bastmeijer, and Oliver Knott. I miss arguing with him.
