Where it grows wild

Recorded from lowland and foothill streams in South and East Kalimantan. Like related Bornean Cryptocoryne it is presumed to grow on gravel and sand banks in flowing forest streams, submersed at high water and emersed when the water drops.

The climate sites span about 10 to 110 m, with one site at about 780 m.
