Default Visit the Cryptocoryne habitats in Sarawak
In August 2009, two of my Japanese friends (Kobayashii & Osaki) travelled along the coastal road of Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) to revisit some habitats of Cryptocoryne and searching for new location as well.


First location is to visit the habitat of Crypt. uenoi.

This species is the second common species after Crypt. ciliata in Borneo.







Another location of Crypt longicauda inside a National Park.




Next location is the habitat of Crypt. auriculata.





Crypt. auriculata in this area got molted leaves.

Then, we headed to Sibu town to rest for a night. The next day, we woke up early to visit Crypt. lingua habitat near Rajang river.





Crypt. lingua population is not big in a river about 30m wide.





We found thousands of them in a ditch near the big river!!!






Most of the leaves are covered by mud. (direct sunlight)






The spathes.





Collecting the pollen.

Then, we went to nearby peat swamp to visit Crypt. pallidinervia.









It is usually grows in blackwater streams / rivers.
