It might be c. regina. I do have a copy of kessleman book but she does not discuss c. regina
To be honest the last 4 of 5 plants I've tried to look up in her book she does not discuss
I don't think a new edition will happen soon, I don't think she has been travelling the past couple of years because of the pandemic.
It's not the most expensive hobby related book I've bought by any means. And I'm happy to buy new editions just to support her and her writing.
But if you can find a local plant club, it's the sort of thing that would be good for the club to buy for reference purposes or their library. Unfortunately there's not really a better centralised source for plant information, nor is there any other real updated source for Crypt information either.
If I couldn't find information searching, the next place I would likely ask would be the AGA facebook group, I expect it's the most likely source for good information

There is nothing in my area. The closest would be atlanta - 4 hour drive or dc area - 8 hour drive. It is truely amazing that this city of a 700,000 people is extremely backwards when it comes to thigns like aquariums. Not a single club. There has been attempts the past decade but they all fail. The local store is ok but they sell fishes the same day they receive them (absolutely 0 qt'ing).
Most people won't pay extra for fish that are kept an extra 3+ weeks or so in order for a proper QT, so it's a double edged sword.
And FWIW, I'm a member of the DC Plant club, it's maybe 4-5 hours drive each way (location varied) and pre=covid we went to all the meetings, it was worth it to us to get out of the house and we both work from home anyway.
It's not an all inclusive list, just the best one from the top of my head... posting where you are, at least the state or part of it is helpful.. I maybe know 15 clubs within 6 or so hours of here in eastern PA for example, quite sure not all of them will be on that list because of them not having a large (or any) aquarium plant presence but you can bet that any club with member (unless everyone is strictly SW) will have some sort of plants.
