I've never heard of that plant.
Is it common in Uruguay?

No, does not exist in Uruguay.
It was collected by Francisco Martinez, an Argentine aquarist in Paranay Guazú River in the Province of Misiones, Argentina.
It is very similar to the HC, a bit larger, but does not need much light. It grows best in soft water.
Regards.
