This was the 1st location where we found
cryptocorynes on our 2
nd day of field trip to west
Kalimantan. We were searching for C.
ideii but found these instead growing on the vertical muddy banks of the river. From the looks of it, the river should be quite deep during
rainy season. The pH of the river water was about 6.8.

As we could not find any spathes, we could not confirm the species. The leaves seemed to be submersed leaves. If I were to make a guess, I would possibly relate them to C.
fusca since west
Kalimantan is a C.
fusca kingdom according to the distribution map on the Crypt Pages.
