'Silver Eagle' is one of the many named forms in a genus of more than thirty species, most of them from Borneo, where they grow as dense mats over rock in fast-moving streams. Leaf color across the genus runs dark blue to green, often with white, yellow or red tinges and spotting on the underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a small in vitro, tissue culture cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall cup size: approx. 1.7\" x 1.7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTissue Culture Technology | 100% Free from Snail, Algae, Pathogen, and Bacteria plus Extended Shelf Life on all in Vitro Plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon name\u003c\/strong\u003e — Silver Eagle Buce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cem\u003eBucephalandra\u003c\/em\u003e sp.
