About

Anubias gigantea is an aquatic to riparian aroid species belonging to the genus Anubias, within the Araceae. It was first mentioned by Auguste Chevalier in 1920, based on material that he had collected in Guinea, West Africa. The formal description followed in 1939 by John Hutchinson. It is closely related to A. afzelii, basically only differing from that species by the form of the leaf-blade, with mature growth appearing somewhat different than the juvenile plants.
