The 'real' Cryptocoryne scurrilis is finally identified. Kazuya Nakamoto was able to find the locality near the upstream of the Indragiri River in the Riau province of Sumatra where the plant originates.
Note the pronounced, raised collar of the limb of the spathe.
The relation with other nurii-like plants however is still complicated and need further research. |

Already known for a couple of years, this "Yellow Ring" was found by Nakamoto near Lake Cini in Pahang, Malaysia. As the plant is sterile (the pollen is defect), it is probably a hybrid, one parent C. cordata var. cordata, the other parent may be C. nurii.
