Rotala sp. "H'Ra" or "Gia Lai" is a new plant from Vietnam. It is probably a local variant of the species Rotala rotundifolia. The plant has been named after its location H'Ra in the province of Gia Lai in central Vietnam. Rotala sp. "H'Ra" / "Gia Lai" has narrow leaves and develops a nice light orange to red colour under good lighting. It has the same elegant growth habit as the light green Rotala sp. "Green": overhanging to horizontal ramified stems. When combined with Rotala sp. "Green", Rotala sp. "H'Ra" will be especially effective. R. sp. "H'Ra" / "Gia Lai" differs from the similar Rotala sp. "Colorata" by lighter-coloured narrower leaves and more overhanging stems when cultivated under the same conditions.

Rotala sp. "H'Ra" probably belongs to the very variable species Rotala rotundifolia. It apparently was named after the hamlet H'Ra in Gia Lai province in the central highland of Vietnam. It is also sometimes called Rotala sp. "Gia Lai", after the province.

This plant closely resembles Rotala sp. "Colorata", however, when cultivated under the same conditions, its submersed form is of a more orange colour and a bit narrower leaves, and a more overhanging or horizontal growth habit. The same growth habit can be observed in Rotala sp. "Green", which mainly differs from R. sp. "H'Ra" by its exclusively light green colour.
