The Tasek Bera purpurea has to be one of my favorite localities!

Stunning ... just stunning. Beautiful pictures and beautiful plants. I hope we can get some of these varieties imported into Australia some day ....

It was reported that the C. xpurpurea in Tasik Bera could be found in 2 separate locations 20km apart within Tasik Bera and there might be possible local variations between these 2 locations. Lets see if I can get my hands on the other one as well for comparison.

C. sp. 'Lingga 22' - we found this on the river banks close to C. sp 'Lingga 19 - platinum line'. Its leaves however did not had the 'platinum' vein and so we termed it as 'Lingga 22' first.
