Description
This plant has been in cultivation since around 2004 under the name Bucephalandra motleyana, making it one of the "longest-serving" Bucephalandras in the aquarium hobby. It was found by Wim Tomey (Netherlands) in the area of Serimbu, Landak Regency, West Kalimantan. From today's perspective, however, it is not Bucephalandra motleyana in the narrower sense, but an as yet undetermined species, which we provisionally call Bucephalandra sp. "Braun/rot Serimbu" or Serimbu Brown". Recently it has also been marketed with the label "Brownie", but has nothing to do with the true "Brownie" forms from Kapuas Hulu.
Like other Bucephalandra species, this plant grows in the wild as a rheophyte attached to rocks in fast-flowing, shady rainforest streams, where it is exposed to frequent changes between flooding and falling dry. It can grow both above and permanently under water and is ideal as a slow-growing aquarium plant.
This Bucephalandra is small to medium-sized and has an almost rosette-like growth habit. The rootstock (the rhizome) grows creeping to ascending and is relatively compact and branches out strongly. The leaves are spathulate to obovate-lanceolate, ascending to flatly spreading. The leaf margin is rather straight, not wavy as with many other Bucephalandras. Young leaves are light brown-red to apricot and iridescent green, older leaves are dark green with a bluish-grey sheen. The upper side of the leaves has a slight lustre. This Bucephalandra is prolific bloomer, both emersed and submerged. Well-growing plants form many inflorescences with brown-red stems and pale pink-coloured spathes.
Like other Bucephalandra forms, Bucephalandra sp. "Serimbu Brown" can be used as a perching plant for the hardscape or attached to the substrate, e.g. with a small stone or plant pin. The rhizome must not be buried, otherwise it could rot. The roots will grow into the substrate on their own.

Super Qualität der Invitro Buce
Bin sehr zufrieden. Es hat sich wieder gelohnt, Pflanzen bei aquasabi zu bestellen.
The Buce arrived in excellent condition. There was more in it than I would have expected from such a small cup. Very beautiful plant for an aquascape. (read more)

Sehr gute Pflanzen
Die Buce kam im ausgezeichneten Zustand an. Es war mehr drin als ich bei so einem kleinen Becher erwartet hätte. Sehr schöne Pflanze für ein Aquascape. Sie ist bei mir mehr im Vordergrund.
Everything as expected for an in-vitro plant, the plants are healthy and have beautiful strong colors. Time will tell whether they develop well
