Bucephalandra goliath

Bucephalandra goliath is a Bornean rheophytic aroid. As the name suggests it is a large-leaved species, but little is published beyond its original description. Like the rest of the genus, it forms mats on wet rocks in forest streams. It suits a humid riparium or emersed setup with constantly wet roots and steady warmth.

No recorded elevations. Most Bucephalandra are lowland to hill-forest stream plants.
