Aponogeton bogneri

A little-documented Aponogeton known only from the Katanga highlands of southern DR Congo, around 1,200 m. The measured site has a hard wet–dry rhythm: heavy rain November to March and almost none May to September, so expect a tuberous aquatic that grows in seasonal water and rests through the dry months.

About 1,200 m at the one measured site.
