Cryptocoryne jambiensis

A little-documented Cryptocoryne from Sumatra, named for Jambi province. Nothing species-specific on its habitat was reachable, so treat it like other lowland Sumatran crypts: warm, constantly wet, low light, and sensitive to sudden changes in water chemistry.

Where it grows wild

Assumed from the genus: lowland forest streams, seasonally flooded pools or stream banks, growing submersed at high water and emersed when levels drop.

No wild records carry an elevation; the one climate site is lowland (about 80 m), consistent with the genus's usual lowland habitat.
