Cryptocoryne (Greek-made name, referring to the spadix being inclosed or hidden in the spatne). Syn. Myrioblastus. Araceae. Aquatic or paludose herbs of 20-30 species in Trop. Asia and the Malayan Archipelago, rarely seen in choice collections but apparently not in the trade. They have creeping and stoloniferous rhizomes, strongly ribbed oblong or linear or ovate Lvs., monoecious fls. without perianth, the upper ones on the spadix staminate and the lower pistillate: spathe closed, the infl. wholly included. The species require the treatment given tender arums. C. ciliata, Fisch., 1 ft., Lvs. narrow, stalked: fls. fragrant in a long tubular peduncled spathe which is fringed at the top. C. retrospiralis, Fisch., plant slender with very narrow almost grass-like Lvs., and small spathe terminating in a spiral or twist. C. Griffithii, Schott, with Lvs. ovate or orbicular-oblong marked with fine red lines; spathe purple. B.M. 7719. CH
