Fig. 1. Bucephalandra micrantha – A: plant in cultivation; B & C: inflorescence at pistillate anthesis, dorsal (B) and ventral (C) views; D: inflorescence at staminate anthesis, lower spathe artificially removed to reveal entire spadix; note the deflexed interstice staminodes and staminate flowers; E: inflorescence at staminate anthesis viewed from above; note the almost fallen spathe limb. – All from Hiroyuki Kishi AR-4080. – Photographs by Peter C. Boyce.

Diagnosis — Bucephalandra micrantha is most similar to B. belindae S. Y. Wong & P. C. Boyce, differing by the little-branched shortly creeping stems rooting profusely (vs stems much-branched and elongated, not rooting along their length), and by a spadix interstice with c. 3 solitary green staminodes (vs interstice with a complete whorl of white staminodes).
