Cryptocoryne sahalii

A rarely documented Cryptocoryne from Sarawak in Borneo. With no wild records the conditions here are generalised from Bornean forest-stream Cryptocoryne: warm, shaded, constantly wet, and best grown emersed in a humid enclosure.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an amphibious aroid of shaded forest streams and wet banks, as for most Bornean Cryptocoryne; no habitat records are available.

Unknown; the climate site was placed at about 430 m from the region only.
