Borneo is indeed a paradise for so many beautiful plants, especially Cryptocoryne. I'm proud to be born in this island.

Crypt. sp. "Batang Ai"





The habitat. (Water ph is 6 and water temperature is around 26 degree Celcius)





Crypt. sp. "Batang Ai" and Blyxa sp.




The image of the plant is a bit blur caused by the ripple in the water surface:





Crypt. striolata found abundantly here:

Nice pictures, but I have to say that C. striolata is not common here in the USA.

Thanks for the report and nice pics, Mike!

I've already distributed propagated plants. On some pics you can see leaves with reddish veins which seem to be characteristic for this population.

Thanks to everyone for viewing my pictures.

I got another Crypt. hunting trip this coming weekend, but it's not in Borneo. I'm going to fly to somewhere to find a rare species of Crypt. I hope I got the luck to find it.
