Cryptocoryne Affnis from Selangor


The Cryptocoryne affinis from this habitat is interesting as they are found at an altitude around 700m above sea level. They are found along white sandy bank of a stream above a huge waterfall in the state of Selangor, Malaysia.


The variety of Affinis found at the lower section of the river has a different form and shares some similarity with some of the Pahang variety.


These were typical of specimens found at the lower part of the river. The leaves show more colors and markings. The shape is more narrow and longer for plants that are growing submersed.
