This one comes from Bogor, Java. However, i'm hesitant to say that it is from Java because it actually comes from Bogor Botanical Gardens. What's the chances of picking up dropped clump of hydnophytum seedlings during a garden stroll? This is probably the most interesting species amongst hydnophytum with great horticultural potential. The leaves are relatively small, shiny and a bit succulent. The branches are short and would form branchlets. The caudex is also very smooth, silvery green and shiny. And for the best part, the caudex grows faster compared to say H. formicarum and even H. moseleyanum. It is relatively tolerant of low humidity and burst into caudex growth when it is given generous watering. Well it definitely has more affinities to H. moseleyanum.
