Flora from Brunei & northern Sarawak (part 1)

The most beautiful Barclaya motleyi (aquatic plant) that I ever found in Sarawak:





Nepenthes rafflesiana.


The "red apple" Nepenthes ampullaria 


Sundew (Drosera burmannii) from Brunei. Take note 1 of the leaf just caught an insect. It is a carnivorous plant.


First time found this herb (Melastomataceae family) grows so close to jungle stream.


The wild Phalaenopsis amabilis (orchid) is blooming now! At northern Sarawak



Silver green ginger.

 Utricularia sp.

Big blackwater waterfall in northern Sarawak

Aridarum caulescens



Cryptocoryne sp. - found very close to waterfall!!!

Piptospatha sp. from blackwater river.

Bucephalandra sp. from northern Sarawak.

Bucephalandra from Brunei is not a new species. It is called Microcasia oblanceolata. (The genus name, Micocasia will change back to Bucephalandra soon).
