- Look for a herb habit.
- Check the distinctive field mark: Fully submerged aquarium plant.
- Confirm leaf shape: Linear (long and narrow, parallel sides).
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: August-October.
- Confirm it sits within the Araceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Cryptocoryne cognatoides.
