It resembles the "Brownie" and "Theia" forms and has longish-oval leaves with wavy margin. The leaf blades get about 4 cm long and 1,4 cm wide. The submerged leaves show bright purple hues. Bucephalandra sp. "Lamandau Purple" has a creeping, branching growth habit, and with time it develops a carpet on rock or wood.
