Description
The nursery Tropica produces several Bucephalandra forms under the name Bucephalandra sp. "Red". They have nice brown-red colours in common and resemble plants that are traded as "Lamandau", "Theia" and "Biblis". They are small to medium-sized, up to 5 cm high forms with elliptic to elongate, more or less wavy leaves. All Bucephalandra species are endemic on the island of Borneo, occurring on rock along streams, adapted to flooding with strong water current. Bucephalandra sp. "Red" is produced as tissue culture plant or potted plant in nurseries, not collected from the nature for the trade.
