Cryptocoryne cruddasiana

A rare water trumpet endemic to northern Myanmar, growing submersed or emersed in monsoon-fed streams. Its home sites swing from a cool, dry winter to a hot, very wet summer, so it is more tolerant of cool nights than most Cryptocoryne. Little is published on its exact habitat; conditions here are built from the measured climate and the genus.
