    Re: Visit the Cryptocoryne habitats in Sarawak

    Last weekend (May 16, 2010)...discovered another location of a variety of Crypt. auriculata (mottled leaf) near central Sarawak. The population is very small, only less than 10 plants found at a spot.

    Re: Visit the Cryptocoryne habitats in Sarawak

    June 12, 2010. It was a short visit to the habitat of a natural cross hybrid of Cryptocoryne.....it's called Cryptocoryne xpurpurea. Its probably a cross between Crypt. cordata var. zonata and Crypt. longicauda.













    The stream is dried up....but this colony of Crypt. still survive well cos the humidity in the jungle is high:




    Not far away, there is a river. There is not Crypt. growing there except the common Barclaya motleyi.

    The river.




    A pool exposed to full sunlight. Here I found sun loving water plants such as Blyxa & hair grasses....

    The jungle stream:




    In the shallow part of the stream, I found a small population of Crypt. striolata. This species is endemic to Borneo:
