Bucephalandra — 13 species

Bucephalandra is a genus of rheophytic aquatic aroids endemic to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of Borneo, belonging to the Araceae family. Beloved by aquascapers for their jewel-like iridescent leaves — varieties include 'Brownie Ghost', Brownie Miami, Kedagang, and Theia Green — they attach to rock or driftwood and grow well under low to medium aquarium lighting without CO2 injection, though gentle water flow and stable, clean water improve growth. As Araceae members containing calcium oxalate crystals, all Bucephalandra species are toxic to cats and dogs and should be kept out of reach of pets.
