Cryptocoryne paglaterasiana

A Philippine Cryptocoryne described by Naive and Jacobsen in 2022, with almost nothing published on its ecology so far. Treat it like other lowland Philippine crypts: a rheophytic or stream-margin aroid of shaded forest that is flooded in the wet season and grows emersed when water drops.

Where it grows wild

No habitat account is available in the sources consulted. Cryptocoryne in general grow in slow lowland forest streams, seasonally flooded pools and river banks; this profile assumes that.

No record carries an elevation; the single climate site is a lowland placeholder at 9 m.
