TheCrypt. striolata in this area has crinkled leaf !!! (NOTE: I found the spathe which prove that is C. striolata)
One of the main tributaries of Sungai Kanowit. A local (far right) is helping us to collect Crypt. bullosa. (the black spots under the water) The population of Crypt. bullosa in this river is extremely HUGE !!!!
The local is bringing back the Crypt. bullosa he collected for us in the middle of the river. According to the locals, the water level in this river is very low during the dry season from June to August where those Crypt. are exposed above the water surface.
Crypt. bullosa !!!
The last river to explore.....near a longhouse. According to the information given by the locals, some Crypt. are growing in this almost blackwater river. We are taking 20 minutes to hike from the longhouse to this river.
Finally, we found those Crypt.; it is C. auriculata !!!
