This is my plant and I was told by someone else that it might be L. Ovalis. Is there any tell tale traight that makes it easy to identify Repens from Ovalis?
 
What i have that i thought was repens doesnt have such long oval leaves. Mine are smaller and more "circular" in shape
 
the budding looks like lud. repens, but....

to me it looks like a hygro. look at the pointed bottom pink leaf and the veins.


i'll even go so far as to say hygrophylia poly even
 
I think that the bottom leaf is tilted in such a way it does resemble hygro but the rest of the plant is a dead givaway. Definately L. repens.
