Native to tropical central and western Africa.

This is a dwarf variety of Anubias barteri.

This plant's thick short-stemmed dark green leaves are some of the smallest and most compact in the Anubias genus, growing only to 3.2 inches (8 cm) for a total height of 4.7 inches (12 cm)

Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood.

It grows well in a range of lighting and has a temperature range of 68-82 degrees F (20-28 degrees C).
