Well Hello Mr. Binder, long time no see, err, talk. Or something.

Have a look here:

http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/Cryptocoryne/Gallery/gri/gri.html

There's a chance that what you had as griffithi might have been a form
of cordata. fusca might be a better choice being somewhat easier to
grow and looking the same if not nicer. And what's wrong with "blassii"
(cordata cordata)

You might also want to look here:

and here:

And I don't want to say we're getting old but that little boy
I brought to your house once is 20 now. And driving. Be careful
on the roads of Palos Verdes. He drives worse than I do. It's
genetic.

Nice to hear from you.
