| Cryptocoryne ' timahensis Bastmeijer
|
|
|
| The two other native Cryptocoryne species from Singapore are C. ciliata, which is said to be extinct over there, and C. griffithii which grows in the swamps. This Singapore plant was collected a couple of times but was always regarded as C. griffithii. This mistake may be explained by the lack of recent collections from the swamps and/or a misunderstanding of the real identity of C. griffithii.
