Anubias barteri var. coffeifolia Coffee Leaf Anubias

Anubias barteri var. coffeifolia Coffee Leaf Anubias


Catalog Number
AP-0034
Description
This especially distinctive variety of Anubias barteri is also known under trade names such as Anubias barteri "Coffeefolia". Its bullate leaves resemble those of the coffee shrub. The Coffee Leaf Anubias gets bigger than the Dwarf Anubias. It is a robust, very slowly growing epiphyte, also suitable for planting in the midground. As with other Anubias forms, it’s only important that the rhizome is not burrowed in the ground. This plant from the Anubias barteri complex was long known as Anubias barteri "Coffeefolia" or "Coffeifolia". Recently, Christel Kasselmann (2010) described it as a variety (var. coffeifolia) or Anubias barteri. It can be discerned from other A. barteri varities by its orange-brown sprouting leaves that turn dark green later on. Its new leaf stalks are brownish red, and the tissue between the lateral veins is strongly arched, which strongly reminds of the leaves of the coffee bush (Coffea).
