Hi Cory,Â
Streamlined leaf blades are widely associated rheophytism and with aquatic plants - indeed before the term 'rheophytism' was coined by van Steenis, Ridley, who termed it âstenophyllyâ, mentioned the ecological nice and its adaptations in "On the Flora of the Eastern Coast of the Malay Peninsula - [Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. 2nd series, Botany 3(10), 267-408].
By the way, the "wider" leaf blade in the image is an undescribed Aridarum, also a rheophyte, and these blades still classify as narrow.
This is a nice paper dealing with morphological adaptations associated with rheophytism:
Kind Regards
Peter

I find the long, thin shape of the leaves reminiscent of some of the Cryptocorynes that are found in faster flowing water, is this also the case for this plant? I would guess to reduce drag and not have the plant ripped from it's spot in fast flow (compared to the wider leaved plant in the habitat photos, that may find itself taking a trip downstream!).Best, CoreyOn Fri, May 8, 2015 at 12:35 PM, D.
