 Johor crypts
We found these two growing in locales about 2 miles apart. Without the inflorescenes, it would have been impossible to identify them, but based on Jan's Crypt page, they are C. griffithi and C. schulzei respectively. The griffithi was found in an old oil palm estate in a remnant patch of swampland that also doubles as a dumping ground for human rubbish. The schulzei, incredibly, thrives (along with Barclaya motleyi and a unidentified Nymphaea) in streams that flow right through the middle of a playground and picnic ground bordering a very dense swamp/jungle. |
