Description
Many species of the plant genus Labisia, native to Southeast Asia, have only recently been discovered and are therefore named after their localities and have not yet been specified more precisely. This is also the case for this pretty Labisia, which probably may be the Labisia sp. Kapuas Hulu from the Indonesian region Kapuas Hulu of the island Borneo. It is distinguished by its distinctive bright pink midvein, which contrasts sharply with its dark green leaves. If you are attentive to its needs, its care is not too complicated.
