Aponogeton nudiflorus

A tuberous aquatic Aponogeton of the hot, dry lowlands of the Horn of Africa and East Africa. Like the other African species of seasonal pools, it grows in shallow, sunny water during the rains and survives the dry season as a dormant tuber. Growers should copy that cycle.

Where it grows wild

There is no species-specific habitat text. Its range in dry savanna and bushland at 400–900 m points to temporary pools, rain-filled depressions and seasonal swamps, the typical habitat of African Aponogeton.

Recorded at 420–870 m, median 560 m.
