Description

Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia is a huge, over one metre long crypt with relatively long-stalked, narrow-lanceolate to lineal, distinctly bullous leaves. Its species name refers to its likeness to some Aponogeton species. It is found in the extreme south-east of the Philippine island Luzon; in earlier times, it was also found on the islands Panay and Negros. This crypt is a true aquatic plant growing in fast-flowing rivers and rivulets, where it forms dense submersed populations that only fall dry when the water is low.

As aquarium plant, C. aponogetifolia has been popular for many years. As early as in the 60s of the last century it was used in public show aquaria.
