Cryptocoryne Hudoroi - Very Rare Plant - 1 Plant - Live aquarium plant
Cryptocoryne hudoroi Bogner & N. Jacobsen
In the 80s of the last century, two Cryptocoryne plants from Borneo were collected which closely matched the very rare C. bullosa. It was very interesting, for it means that the area for the plant was greatly widened. The same enlarging of the area was found for other Cryptocoryne, for example for C. longicauda: it fits the picture. So it was a great surprise to find that the chromosome number for the two 'new' plants turned out to be 2n = 20, only known hitherto for C. striolata (Arends et al. 1982). The inflorescence of both 'new' plants were not known, so a big challenge to find out. In short, both plants turned out to be a new species, C. keei from West of Kuching (Sarawak) and C. hudoroi from North of Banjarmasin (Indonesia).
